Max Width

Introduction

The Max Width variable sets the maximum width in pixels. The value is applied after all other layout so it can be used to overwrite automatically-assigned width.

By default this value is <NULL> which means there is no Max Width.

If Max Width is assigned (not <NULL>), then the effective width cannot be larger than the Max Width value. The following animation shows that width is limited to a Max Width of 100.

Notice that the Width variable can still be set to a value larger than Max Width, but it does not apply visually.

Max Width can also be used if Width Units is set to values other than Absolute. For example, Max Width can be used to limit the width of a ColoredRectangle when Width Units is Relative to Parent.
