Dear CSS Grid editors,
We are thinking about developing a Collapsed Grid approach for the CSS Grid
Layout Module Level 1; reported as ISSUE 2 in
http://www.w3.org/TR/css-grid-1/#visibility-collapse.
Our idea is based on having the items ranked with a priority, depending
their position in the layout. The priority will be allocated going over the
layout matrix from left to right and from top to down. In the following
example:
[image: Imágenes integradas 1]
If we remove one of them, the Collapsed Grid mechanism will allocate the
items depending their priority, the first empty place where there is enough
space for that item going over the layout matrix from left to right and
from top to down.
For example, if we remove number 4:
[image: Imágenes integradas 2]
If we remove number 2:
[image: Imágenes integradas 3]
If we remove number 3:
[image: Imágenes integradas 4]
Would this help proposing a solution for the ISSUE 2? Our research activity
comes from a European project called MediaScape (www.mediascapeproject.eu),
where we are creating multi-device applications over standard technologies
(W3C is a partner of the project, François Daoust in CC). Thus, the same
application could be used by a user in multiple devices at the same time
(e.g. second screen environment with a TV and a tablet). So our adaptation
engine will decide in run-time which items present on each device to
provide the user a unique experience through multiple devices. Once we know
which items should be presented on each device, we are thinking about using
the grid layout with the aforementioned approach.
Looking forward to hearing from you and don't hesitate to contact me for
further explanations.
