TEXTBLOCK lines height adjustment

pedrocollares — Mon, 09 Sep 2024 09:21:18 GMT

I've been putting up a custom schedule in GDL to list finishes of a project out of surfaces, and it seems to be working all fine, but I would like to have the text block lines a bit closer to each other.

Is there a height factor to be applied to text blocks? I couldn't find such thing in the reference guide.

Thanks in advance!

It is not in the textblock but paragraph definition and it is called line_spacing there:

Oh right. Then I assume I should use paragraph instead of textblock to be able to control that. I can't see how I define the paragraph's width, though. I'm using textblock because I need to restrict the width of the text to have an automatic line break.

You _are_ using paragraphs when using textblocks 😉
