Consider something close to tiled map implementation where element-tiles shall go in strictly physical order no matter of base UI directionality. That is one of practical situations we’ve bumped into with our flex/flow implementation that used only logic directions initially. Another case is when content contains explicit mentioning of the direction, like: “Result of formula (on the left) is presented in the table on the right”. It is better to use physical directions here for many reasons including potential misinterpretation of information when blind translations are used. Obviously this applies to flexbox and grid use cases. -- Andrew Fedoniouk http://terrainformatica.com From: Ojan Vafai Sent: Thursday, September 22, 2011 5:08 PM To: Andrew Fedoniouk Cc: Tab Atkins Jr. ; www-style list Subject: Re: [css3-flexbox] Too many flex-flow values? Can you give use-cases where logical directions are insufficient. It's hard to argue against "for ttb systems use of only logical directions in Grid is plainly wrong" because it doesn't actually say what's wrong or what use-cases don't work.Received on Friday, 23 September 2011 02:45:15 UTC
