Line Spacing

hsmartin — Fri, 14 Oct 2022 14:13:16 GMT

Hi!

Thanks so much for your help with earlier questions. I noticed our Inquisit pages with radio buttons have the bottom of the text (before the buttons) getting cut off. I've attached an example here. It's a super minor detail, but as you can see, the bottom of the p, y, and g got cut off in the line "probably got them sick." Any ideas how we can fix this? I've tried making changes to the sizing, position, and font style, but I might be doing it incorrectly. Any help would be super appreciated! We've noticed this small issue on all of our slides with radio buttons.

Here are the relevant parts of the script for the example above:

<radiobuttons Responrating1B>
/ caption = "The following afternoon when you talk to your friend you feel badly because you think you probably got them sick."
/ options=("Very Different in Meaning"; "Different in Meaning"; "Similar in Meaning"; "Very Similar in Meaning")
/ optionvalues=("1", "2", "3", "4")
/ required = true
</radiobuttons>

<surveypage Responratings1B>
/ caption = "THE COLD"
/ questions = [1-4=random(Responrating1B)]
/ fontstyle = ("Hiragino Sans", 7%, false, false, false, false, 5, 0)
/ showpagenumbers = false
/ showquestionnumbers = false
/ itemspacing = 1px
</surveypage>

Thanks so much!

That code snippet isn't really useful without the other relevant parts that affect available screen estate (e.g. what are the /canvassize, settings in <defaults>, what are the <survey>-level settings, etc.). When I run just the code you've given me, nothing is cut off, but that's obviously because relevant information is missing.

One easy fix you can try is to insert a blank /subcaption as a spacer:

<radiobuttons Responrating1B>
/ caption = "The following afternoon when you talk to your friend you feel badly because you think you probably got them sick."
/ subcaption = " "
/ subcaptionfontstyle = ("Hiragino Sans", 1%)
/ options=("Very Different in Meaning"; "Different in Meaning"; "Similar in Meaning"; "Very Similar in Meaning")
/ optionvalues=("1", "2", "3", "4")
/ required = true
</radiobuttons>

Perhaps you could provide code that actually runs? That would be helpful. What you've posted cannot even be parsed because most of the referenced stuff is missing.

Also missing are any files that code requires to work.
[/quote]

When you have the time, could you run through https://mili2nd.co/koac on the same device your original screenshot came from, take a screenshot, and post the screenshot here? It's just a single radiobuttons question, so it shouldn't take long. Don't worry about the blue-ish background, that's just there as a measurement reference for me to figure out what happens spacing-wise on your device.

[/quote]

Thanks. The same thing happened with the bottoms of the letters getting cut off.
[/quote]

Thanks -- https://mili2nd.co/koac will now run three different versions of the same question in a row. Is any of them better or worse on your device?
[/quote]

Thanks! In all three versions, the bottoms of the letters continue to be cut off. If it helps, in the middle version, the bottoms of the letters appear to be cut off in the radio buttons, too.

The same issue happened for our PI and another research assistant when running our script - I think it's okay, though. I'm thinking maybe we'll just leave the script as is. I'm sure this issue won't bother participants, and it's definitely still readable. Thank you again for your time!

Perhaps you could provide code that actually runs? That would be helpful. What you've posted cannot even be parsed because most of the referenced stuff is missing.

Also missing are any files that code requires to work.
[/quote]

When you have the time, could you run through https://mili2nd.co/koac on the same device your original screenshot came from, take a screenshot, and post the screenshot here? It's just a single radiobuttons question, so it shouldn't take long. Don't worry about the blue-ish background, that's just there as a measurement reference for me to figure out what happens spacing-wise on your device.

[/quote]

Thanks. The same thing happened with the bottoms of the letters getting cut off.
[/quote]

Thanks -- https://mili2nd.co/koac will now run three different versions of the same question in a row. Is any of them better or worse on your device?

Hi!

Thanks so much for your help with earlier questions. I noticed our Inquisit pages with radio buttons have the bottom of the text (before the buttons) getting cut off. I've attached an example here. It's a super minor detail, but as you can see, the bottom of the p, y, and g got cut off in the line "probably got them sick." Any ideas how we can fix this? I've tried making changes to the sizing, position, and font style, but I might be doing it incorrectly. Any help would be super appreciated! We've noticed this small issue on all of our slides with radio buttons.

Here are the relevant parts of the script for the example above:

<radiobuttons Responrating1B>
/ caption = "The following afternoon when you talk to your friend you feel badly because you think you probably got them sick."
/ options=("Very Different in Meaning"; "Different in Meaning"; "Similar in Meaning"; "Very Similar in Meaning")
/ optionvalues=("1", "2", "3", "4")
/ required = true
</radiobuttons>

<surveypage Responratings1B>
/ caption = "THE COLD"
/ questions = [1-4=random(Responrating1B)]
/ fontstyle = ("Hiragino Sans", 7%, false, false, false, false, 5, 0)
/ showpagenumbers = false
/ showquestionnumbers = false
/ itemspacing = 1px
</surveypage>

Thanks so much!

That code snippet isn't really useful without the other relevant parts that affect available screen estate (e.g. what are the /canvassize, settings in <defaults>, what are the <survey>-level settings, etc.). When I run just the code you've given me, nothing is cut off, but that's obviously because relevant information is missing.

One easy fix you can try is to insert a blank /subcaption as a spacer:

<radiobuttons Responrating1B>
/ caption = "The following afternoon when you talk to your friend you feel badly because you think you probably got them sick."
/ subcaption = " "
/ subcaptionfontstyle = ("Hiragino Sans", 1%)
/ options=("Very Different in Meaning"; "Different in Meaning"; "Similar in Meaning"; "Very Similar in Meaning")
/ optionvalues=("1", "2", "3", "4")
/ required = true
</radiobuttons>

Hi!

Thanks so much for your help with earlier questions. I noticed our Inquisit pages with radio buttons have the bottom of the text (before the buttons) getting cut off. I've attached an example here. It's a super minor detail, but as you can see, the bottom of the p, y, and g got cut off in the line "probably got them sick." Any ideas how we can fix this? I've tried making changes to the sizing, position, and font style, but I might be doing it incorrectly. Any help would be super appreciated! We've noticed this small issue on all of our slides with radio buttons.

Here are the relevant parts of the script for the example above:

<radiobuttons Responrating1B>
/ caption = "The following afternoon when you talk to your friend you feel badly because you think you probably got them sick."
/ options=("Very Different in Meaning"; "Different in Meaning"; "Similar in Meaning"; "Very Similar in Meaning")
/ optionvalues=("1", "2", "3", "4")
/ required = true
</radiobuttons>

<surveypage Responratings1B>
/ caption = "THE COLD"
/ questions = [1-4=random(Responrating1B)]
/ fontstyle = ("Hiragino Sans", 7%, false, false, false, false, 5, 0)
/ showpagenumbers = false
/ showquestionnumbers = false
/ itemspacing = 1px
</surveypage>

Thanks so much!

That code snippet isn't really useful without the other relevant parts that affect available screen estate (e.g. what are the /canvassize, settings in <defaults>, what are the <survey>-level settings, etc.). When I run just the code you've given me, nothing is cut off, but that's obviously because relevant information is missing.

One easy fix you can try is to insert a blank /subcaption as a spacer:

<radiobuttons Responrating1B>
/ caption = "The following afternoon when you talk to your friend you feel badly because you think you probably got them sick."
/ subcaption = " "
/ subcaptionfontstyle = ("Hiragino Sans", 1%)
/ options=("Very Different in Meaning"; "Different in Meaning"; "Similar in Meaning"; "Very Similar in Meaning")
/ optionvalues=("1", "2", "3", "4")
/ required = true
</radiobuttons>

Perhaps you could provide code that actually runs? That would be helpful. What you've posted cannot even be parsed because most of the referenced stuff is missing.

Also missing are any files that code requires to work.

Hi!

Thanks so much for your help with earlier questions. I noticed our Inquisit pages with radio buttons have the bottom of the text (before the buttons) getting cut off. I've attached an example here. It's a super minor detail, but as you can see, the bottom of the p, y, and g got cut off in the line "probably got them sick." Any ideas how we can fix this? I've tried making changes to the sizing, position, and font style, but I might be doing it incorrectly. Any help would be super appreciated! We've noticed this small issue on all of our slides with radio buttons.

Here are the relevant parts of the script for the example above:

<radiobuttons Responrating1B>
/ caption = "The following afternoon when you talk to your friend you feel badly because you think you probably got them sick."
/ options=("Very Different in Meaning"; "Different in Meaning"; "Similar in Meaning"; "Very Similar in Meaning")
/ optionvalues=("1", "2", "3", "4")
/ required = true
</radiobuttons>

<surveypage Responratings1B>
/ caption = "THE COLD"
/ questions = [1-4=random(Responrating1B)]
/ fontstyle = ("Hiragino Sans", 7%, false, false, false, false, 5, 0)
/ showpagenumbers = false
/ showquestionnumbers = false
/ itemspacing = 1px
</surveypage>

Thanks so much!

That code snippet isn't really useful without the other relevant parts that affect available screen estate (e.g. what are the /canvassize, settings in <defaults>, what are the <survey>-level settings, etc.). When I run just the code you've given me, nothing is cut off, but that's obviously because relevant information is missing.

One easy fix you can try is to insert a blank /subcaption as a spacer:
