Freeway Reference: Working with Items
70
70
As soon as you check the High-resolution option you will see the image reduce in size by 50%. The reason for this is because the option
uses a method called “@2x” which Apple recommends to make images display in high quality on Retina displays—and this requires the
graphic to be output at 50% of its original physical size. Freeway will show you the graphic at 50% of its original size in the live preview
on your page, so you can see how it will look on output even before previewing the page.
You can read further information on using high resolution
graphics with Freeway in the article on the Softpress
KnowledgeBase at http://www.softpress.com/kb/questions/447/.
Tiling a background image
Once a background image has been added to an item, the Inspector palette shows options you can use to control how the image is
displayed. Both Horizontal and Vertical default to Tile, which will tile the selected image in both directions.
The options for Horizontal are:
• Tile is the default setting
• Left places the background image on the left side of the item
• Center places the image in the center of the item
• Right places the image on the right side of the item
The options for Vertical are:
• Tile is the default setting
• Top places the image at the top of the item
• Center places the image in the center of the item
• Bottom places the image at the bottom of the item
Sliced background images
Freeway can slice background images so that they can be used to apply a border or effect to an item. You will normally want to use an
image that has a framed border and a uniform central area, which may be transparent or semi-transparent.
To create a sliced background image:
1. Apply a suitable background image to an HTML item.
2. Select the Slice Image checkbox.
There are no tiling options for sliced background images—the central slice of the image is tiled automatically.
When you resize an item with a sliced background, the background resizes automatically. This also happens when the item is viewed in
a browser.
The content area of an item that has a sliced background is limited to the central slice—it cannot overlap the borders of the sliced
background. Freeway displays the content area of a selected item as a green or blue dotted line within the item. (The color depends on
whether the item is a CSS or table-positioned item.) You can also inset the content area to a greater extent by applying padding to the
item.
The way in which a sliced background is output depends on the type of item, and the level of IE compatibility that is applied to the
page on which the item sits:
• Table-positioned items are output using a table to hold the
background slices.
• CSS items are output using CSS-positioned divs to hold the
slices if IE Compatibility is set to IE7 or None.
• CSS items are output using a table to hold the slices if IE
Compatibility is set to IE6/IE7.
Borders in Freeway Pro
You can apply a variety of borders to both HTML and graphic items in Freeway Pro and Express.
Freeway Express is covered on page 73.
Applying a border to an HTML item
1. Select the item and choose the Item Appearance panel from the Inspector palette.
2. Select the Border checkbox.
This will set a default 1px black border around the HTML item. To change the color, click on
the black color swatch on the right side of the Inspector palette and choose from the menu.
Note: Freeway Express does not allow you to use high resolution background
images.
Note 1: Background images are automatically sliced if a graphic effect is
applied to an HTML box.
Note 2: Internet Explorer 6 has a number of deficiencies in its support for
CSS positioning, and is unable to display CSS-positioned slices correctly. If
you do not need to support this browser, you can set the compatibility level
to IE7 or None for non-table-positioned background slicing.
