InterfaceSwitched

InterfaceSwitched[size1expr1,size2expr2,…|>]

is a construct that behaves as if it were expri when it is in an interface environment with width sizei.

InterfaceSwitched["param",key1expr1,key2expr2,…|>]

behaves as if it were expri when the value of the interface parameter param corresponds to keyi.

Details

  • InterfaceSwitched can be used to create responsive web interfaces that change depending on their display environments.
  • InterfaceSwitched does not evaluate in the kernel, but resolves only in the web browser.
  • InterfaceSwitched constructs can be nested.
  • Possible values of param include:
  • "Width"pixel width of viewport area
    "Height"pixel height of viewport area
    "Orientation"orientation of device
    "DeviceType"type of device
  • Possible values of size for "Width" and "Height" are:
  • nsize of at least n pixels
    {min, max}size between min and max pixels
  • Possible values of key for "Orientation" are:
  • "Vertical", "Portrait"device held vertically
    "Horizontal", "Landscape"device held horizontally
  • Possible values of key for "DeviceType" are:
  • "Print"used when printing
    "Screen"used for displays on computers, tablets, phones
    "Speech"used for screen readers
  • Typical widths of various devices are:
  • Phone480 pixels
    Tablet768 pixels
    Desktop992 pixels
    Large screen1200 pixels
  • In all cases, the following keys can be used:
  • Automaticfallthrough for unspecified cases
    case1|case2|…several alternative cases
