Dimensions

Dimensions

The Dimensions page controls the physical size and thickness of supported UniPanels panels.

Available controls depend on the panel type.

Thickness

All current panel types support adjustable thickness.

The available range is:

1 to 16 pixels

This includes the Basic Panel, even though its face size remains fixed at 1 × 1.

Thickness changes the physical depth of the panel without changing its displayed content.

Resizable Panels

Some panel types can also change their face dimensions.

Maximum supported sizes:

• Basic Panel — 1 × 1
• Advanced Panel — up to 3 × 3
• Color Panel — up to 9 × 9
• Texture Panel — up to 9 × 9

Unsupported size controls are hidden automatically.

Directional Resizing

Resizable panels use a directional resize control.

A fixed generic panel icon appears in the center, surrounded by directional arrows.

The center icon is only a visual representation of the panel and does not change shape to match the current dimensions.

The actual panel proportions can be inspected using Live Preview.

Expand and Contract

Choose between:

• Expand
• Contract

then select the edge you want to modify.

Available directions are:

• Up
• Down
• Left
• Right

Only one edge is changed at a time.

Current Size

The current face dimensions are shown separately from the resize control.

For example:

Current: 3 × 5

The dimensions are not drawn inside the central panel icon so the resize control remains stable even for extreme shapes such as:

• 1 × 9
• 9 × 1
• 9 × 9

Resize Anchor

Panel resizing is anchored to the main placed block.

It does not resize outward from the geometric center of the current panel.

This is important for asymmetric panels.

For example, a 1 × 9 panel may have its main block located at one end of the panel rather than in the center.

Expansion and contraction preserve this anchor behavior.

Predictive Tooltips

Hovering over a resize arrow shows the expected result before you click.

Example:

Expand Right
3 × 5 → 4 × 5

or:

Contract Left
4 × 5 → 3 × 5

This makes it easier to understand which edge will change.

Invalid Resize Operations

A resize direction may be unavailable when:

• the minimum size has been reached;
• the maximum size has been reached;
• the operation would conflict with the main-block anchor;
• an existing resize validation rule prevents the change.

Unavailable operations are disabled where appropriate.

Live Preview

The Dimensions page supports the UniPanels Live Preview.

The preview shows the actual panel proportions while the resize control remains a fixed symbolic square.

This makes it easier to inspect:

• width;
• height;
• thickness;
• asymmetric panel shapes.

Basic Panel

The Basic Panel does not support width or height resizing.

Its Dimensions page therefore focuses on:

• thickness.

The face size remains:

1 × 1
