Fiware Wirecloud widget config.xml: what unit is width and height?

Question

In the specification config.xml of a wirecloud widget, we can set initial width and height

<Platform.Rendering width="x" height="y"/>

When I put in something like width 300 and height = 80, the widget gets much bigger and overflows the screen. In the specification I only see that the width field defines the width.

I see in example widgets values like 5 and 8. So what unit is the width and height?

Answer 1

If you check your workspace settings, you will see that you may set your workspace grid up by determining the number of columns and rows you want it to use.

I think these numbers refer to the workspace grid columns/rows.

Answer 2

WireCloud prior to 0.8.0 only supports columns and row as units. Pixels and percentages are supported from WireCloud 0.8.0 onwards.

See the documentation for more info.
