Branches do not kern #262

Closed LivInTheLookingGlass closed 5 years ago

LivInTheLookingGlass commented 8 years ago

Kerning is probably not the right word, but it's the closest I can find. Basic idea: branches should go as close as possible without overlapping.

Example: This is the current view.

If you were to add kerning to the dropdowns, it would look more like this:

Much nicer looking if you ask me.

See how the two branches are closer together, with the right branches taking the space unused (though normally reserved) by the leftmost branches?

What I'm trying to say is this. When the page draws, it currently divides into columns. Each branch fills the entirety of a column.

Sometimes it doesn't take the full space of a column, though. So you get tables that look like:

x y z
x1 y1 y2 z1
x1.1 x1.2 y2.1 z1.1

It would be better if those tables could be drawn like:

x y z
x1 y1 y2 z1
x1.1 x1.2 y2.1 z1.1

That makes things much more aesthetically pleasing, and reduces the required screen real estate.
