Hi everyone
This is the first time I've posted here and I hope you don't mind answering my question :)

I've created a drag and drop and would like the image to fill the screen more fully if possible? At the moment it is either very small, or if I change the display mode to 'full screen' the image and drag and drop options are all clustered together on the right hand side of the screen. Am I selecting the wrong type of interactivity do you think? Or have I missed some settings that would enable me to get the result I am looking for?


This is the link to the rlo and the problematic interaction is on page one.
www.nottingham.ac.uk/toolkits/preview.php?template_id=12859

Many thanks
Chris

Hi and welcome
it's a friendly place to ask questions! ;-)
Firstly for anyone else reading this the public link to your example is www.nottingham.ac.uk/toolkits/play.php?template_id=12859 rather than the preview.php link which will only work for you.

It's usually a good idea to make sure you have the optional Image Width property set to Large to maximise the image size but I can see that you have that set.

Now depending on the size and shape of your image and the number of labels etc the other 'Label Position' can be useful e.g. instead of the default position of labels 'Below Image' you can change that to 'Below Text'. With your example I think you should find that the image then fills the vertical space on the right and is therefore larger and the labels fill the space on the left. At the moment this will only work with the 'Align Text' property set to left which is what you have set anyway.

Hi Ron
Thank you so much for the quick response! :)
And thank you for letting me know about the link as well!

It sounds like your suggestion about the label position would be a good solution but I can't find it, I must have missed something or be looking in the wrong place. On the drag and drop labelling page I've got Page Title, Text, Image, Image Description, Align Text, Highlight Hotspots, Highlight Colour, Image Width. Is 'label position' hidden away somewhere?

Many thanks for helping me
Chris
