Layout

When widgets are available for a service, the button is present on the page to add the widget to the navigation page.

All the added widgets are placed on a shared grid, over the navigation page.

On this grid, widgets can be resized using the control which is placed at the bottom right of each widget. Each type of widget has a minimum and maxium size.

Widgets can also be moved on the grid. To move a widget, it has to be grabbed from the header and then moved.

Double-clicking on a widget’s header reduces its display, leaving only its header visible.

Double-clicking on the header again returns the widget to its standard display and size.

Widgets are verticaly compacted: which means they will always be moved upwards if there is space available. They can’t be freely placed at the bottom of the map.

Widgets are stacked under each others. It may then be possible that widgets do not appear anymore in the extent of the screen.
