Control Components

ButtonGrid

A grid of <Button> components.

Integrates the Button Grid control from Tweakpane-creator Hiroki Kokubun's Essentials plugin.

See <RadioGrid> for a radio-flavored variation.

Svelte Tweakpane UI also includes some additional logic to manage default grid dimensions:

  • If no rows or columns props are provided, it will create a grid with the squarest possible aspect ratio for the given quantity of values.

  • If a single rows or columns prop is provided, it lets the undefined axis grow / shrink as needed to accommodate the quantity of values.

  • If both rows and columns props area provided, then buttons may be clipped if rows * columns < values.length.

Usage outside of a <Pane> component will implicitly wrap the button grid in <Pane position="inline">.

Note that Svelte Tweakpane UI embeds a functionally identical fork of the plugin with build optimizations. The fork also changes the package name from @tweakpane/plugin-essentials to @kitschpatrol/tweakpane-plugin-essentials for consistency with other plugins.
