Just started using Indigo Studio, and I'm quite impressed. Just a couple small things I've seen so far that would be useful:
When adding a block of text, I'd like to be able to change the size, bold, italic, color, font, etc. of characters within that text, rather than only being able to apply those attributes to the entire block of text.
Second, I'm trying to add a linear gauge to an interface, but the gauge element is square, with a bunch of wasted space above and below, which makes it impossible to create a stack of gauges without having them be pretty far apart vertically.
Otherwise, great job on a fantastic UX/UI tool! It certainly doesn't feel like a 1.0 product-you've packed it full of features and made it usable and quite polished.
Okay, here is the blog post on prototyping map zoom. Thanks for the inspiration!
Hi Elaine,
I tried to do a prototype of map zoom. You can see it here.
Here is the link to the screen so you can see how it is done. It uses a little known secret--clipping in the Container control. :) I can certainly explain it more if you like. Maybe I'll do up a little blog post on it.
Let me know if this is like what you were wanting to do.
What I am trying to do is zoom a map so at a low scale you wouldn't see street view but at a high scale you would. I was thinking that info is in an SVG (the different images) with a jpeg all you're doing is enlarging an image not really zooming in to reveal more detail. But thanks for going through trouble. I thought you meant that you had two images one with less detail and zoom up to one with more detail that is why I said it would be choppy and not work on the timeline animation as a svg would (I think).

That's a bummer. Anyway, this is what I was trying to show> http://indigo.infragistics.com/prototype/LWZWGKNC
When you look at the interactions explorer, what I did was to add a "click" interaction on the image, and in the new state, I resized the image. Also gave it some duration. Anyway, thanks for submitting an idea.

np!
I couldn't open the zip file. What I am trying to do is to imitate the zoom of a map. Wouldn't it be choppy to go from one image to another?
Thanks for your help!
