Hello,
Even don't know how to name this correct so couldn't find in forum :)
THE TASK:
During stream of a sports game sometimes to show livescore of other matches.
THE PROBLEM:
There can be 1 match, but can be 3 or 5 matches. I want to take data from Excel file via DataSource.
But how to make graphics to change its height automaticaly depending of ammount of matches (rows in Excel)? If there are 2 matches, my graphics field is 200 px, but if there are 4 matches - it should become 400 px.
Any suggestions? Thank you!

Any suggestions? Thank you! What do you mean by graphics? Guess you mean a textbox ? One can set a textbox (title designer) to automatically resize vertically ( fixed width). each piece of text separated with a linefeed/cr will expand the box per line added Problem is one can not have mutiple items/rows of a datasource in one textbox unless you have a script taking all the rows data and convert it to the above mentioned structure as one to put in that box . One can "attach" say a colored rectangle to the textbox that will grow as the textbox grows . its called bounding. There is a vMix tutorial video explaining this "autoscaling of titles"

Well, I mean PNG file I use in GT. I want rows to be added there depending on ammount of rows of text I have. Ex: https://app.box.com/s/7w4qzedm2pl8qgfpj4o8n575m1ucd15mOne can set a textbox (title designer) to automatically resize vertically ( fixed width). each piece of text separated with a linefeed/cr will expand the box per line added Problem is one can not have mutiple items/rows of a datasource in one textbox unless you have a script taking all the rows data and convert it to the above mentioned structure as one to put in that box .

Would that not deform the image ? Maybe fill the rectangle with an image ?
