Visible Cluster AutoSizing Style

Status: New

Add a Visible Item to the cluster container to enable the display of the currently selected AutoSizing style

Similar to the other Visible Items (enabled above on "source" string & "code" integer) like

  • "Radix" for a numeric integer (d-Decimal, o-Octal, x-Hex, b-Binary, p-SI Display)
  • "Display Style" for a string (n-Normal, \-\ codes, x-Hexadecimal, p-Password)

For consistency with others similar above:

  • also available on Block Diagram cluster constants
  • Visibility only selectable in edit mode
  • If Style is visible, it is changable in BOTH edit AND run modes

I don't agree with a run-time change of the style, as it will change the size/shape of the cluster.  For numerics and strings it only changes the representation of the contents.

 

Apart from that, I agree it would be helpful to have an easier way to change the cluster style than a second level menu, but my preference would be a hotkey (e.g. Ctrl-Shift f/h/v/n).
