Change the width of all blocks

[Nimeshka Srimal]

Can someone guide me on how I can change the width of all blocks? I checked the block_svg.js and noticed that it has a width property. But changing that doesn't make any difference to me. Is there any other place I have to change? With the current size of the blocks, I feel there's too much whitespace around.

thanks,

There are numerous constants related to block rendering. Several of them are found in block_render_svg.js. I don't know which specifically are related to width/padding, but I suspect it is several of them.

We recommend testing using playground.html in the test directory. The playground loads the raw, uncompressed sources, which should speed up your test and iterate loop, and isolate build related issues from actual code problems.

If you want to decrease whitespace/padding around everything, try changing Blockly.BlockSvg.SEP_SPACE_X and Blockly.BlockSvg.SEP_SPACE_Y.

Hi Rachel,

Thanks for the tip. It indeed increase the block width. But the problem is it doesn't uniformly apply to all blocks, ie, it increases the spacing between the block's elements along the x coordinate. Also it makes issues with alignments etc.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the hint. It was in that file you mentioned and I managed to solve my issue by increasing the Blockly.BlockSvg.NOTCH_WIDTH and tweaking a few values inside the

Blockly.BlockSvg.prototype.renderCompute_ function.
