Infographic Component
Outline
This component is NOT recommended for use when creating accessible courses.
The infographic component lets you display text items over an image. Since images are responsive in Evolve, the text item automatically scales to the current image size. On mobile devices, the infographic can be opened fullscreen and navigated using the touch screen.
Text items are displayed using html, making them accessible and translatable. The text item can also be made interactive, for example displaying a tooltip when clicking on the text item. The item can be styled and animated; even a background image can be displayed.
This article provides a quick setup guide for working with the infographic component, offers a full overview of component settings, and provides tips for working with the infographic component.
Component: Quick Setup
This section is aimed at getting the component setup for the first time. For in depth information about this component, go to the Full Component Guide.

First add an image in the Graphic section. We recommend using an image at least 1024px wide. The Image Max Width field controls the maximum size the image will be displayed. This size is important since it is used as a reference point to scale all items. Changing this size after all the items have been positioned will cause them to become misaligned.

Open up the live preview to check how the infographic component is displayed. The text entered should display exactly where it is in the editor. Try changing the size of the live preview window; you will notice the text scale up and down relative to the actual image size displayed in the course. The position of the item will always stay the same regardless of the current image size. You can also enable the outline to display in the live preview by going to the Behavior section. This outline will not display in the published course.
Styling
Each item can be styled in a number of ways. Each numerical style (font size, padding etc.) will be scaled up/down automatically relative to the actual image size displayed in the course. The styles set in the item editor are used when the infographic is being displayed at the Image Max Width setting in the Graphic section. This allows you to set the styles just once and have them work across a variety of screen sizes.

Adding interactivity to the item can be done in the item editor. Switching the item’s Interactivity toggle to Interactive will add a number of new styling and behaviour settings to the item editor panel.
3 types of interactivity can be added:
- Tooltip
- Navigation
- Show Hidden Item
The interactivity type can be set in the Interaction Type dropdown. Below is an example of the tooltip interaction.

Hover and Interacted styles
Switching the item’s Interactivity toggle to Interactive will allow using Hover Styles and Interacted Styles. These styles override the default styles even when there is no style set. For example, if no hover text color is set then the item’s text will display as transparent when the user hovers over the item.

Animations
Items can be set to animate when they first display. An item can animate to change its position, opacity, and scale. Item animations are enabled in the item editor panel. Once enabled, further settings become available in the item editor to control the animation start position, end position, opacity, and scale. The item will animate from these values to the position and size shown in the editor.
Setting up the initial position can be done in the item editor panel using numerical values or by clicking on the Animation Start Position control along the top of the editor. When this control is activated only items that have animation enabled will display. Use the drag handles to position where the item should animate from.

- Zoom controls - Zooms the graphic in/out. Can be reset to the original size using the Reset Zoom button.
- Animation Start Position - Enables positioning of any item with animations enabled. The position of the item set is where the item will animate from.
- Animation Hide Position - Set the position the item will animate to when it is hidden
- Lock Horizontal Dragging - When enabled, an item can only be dragged horizontally.
- Lock Vertical Dragging - When enabled, an item can only be dragged vertically.
- Snap - Use this to align items and "snap" them to nearby items
- Undo/Redo Last Change - Undos any change made. Can undo the last 20 changes.
- Full Screen - Switch to fullscreen editing for more space.

Item editor settings
Editor Label - Sets the label visible in the editor and the items panel.
Editor Outline Color - Sets the color of the outline in the editor and live preview. A lighter color can be used if the default black is not visible on a dark image.
Visibility - Sets whether the item is visible or hidden in the course. Hidden items can be made visible using an interactive item. “Hidden” text will also be added to the item’s editor label.
Interactivity - Setting the item to Interactive will allow the item to change styles when hovered and trigger an action when clicked.
Text - The text inside the item. If this text is intended to be translated, make sure the item size is larger than needed for languages that display longer such as German.
Aria Label - Text that the screen reader will read out. This is useful if there is no text inside the item or it is interactive.
Font Size (px) - Sets the font size of the text. The font size will scale up/down relative to the actual image size displayed in the course.
Text Align - Sets the horizontal alignment of the text.
Vertical Text Align - Sets the vertical alignment of the text.
Auto Line Height - If Automatic, the line height is set based on the item’s height. Automatic is useful for text that is intended to be translated since the text will be less likely to break outside the item.
Line Height (px) - If Auto Line Height is set to custom, this setting will appear. Controls the line height of the text in this item. The line height will scale up/down relative to the actual image size displayed in the course.
Text Color - The color of the text.
Background Color - The background color of the item.
Border Style - The style of the border around the item. This does not affect the item outline used for resizing the item.
Border Color - The color of the border around the item. This does not affect the item outline used for resizing the item.
Border Width (px) - The width of the border around the item. This does not affect the item outline used for resizing the item. The border width will scale up/down relative to the actual image size displayed in the course.
Border Radius (px) - Use this setting to set rounded corners on the item. The border radius will scale up/down relative to the actual image size displayed in the course.
Top Padding (px) - Adds padding inside the item at the top. Text will not flow into this padding. The top padding will scale up/down relative to the actual image size displayed in the course.
Bottom Padding (px) - Adds padding inside the item at the bottom. Text will not flow into this padding. The bottom padding will scale up/down relative to the actual image size displayed in the course.
Left Padding (px) - Adds padding inside the item on the left. Text will not flow into this padding. The left padding will scale up/down depending on the current image size.
Right Padding (px) - Adds padding inside the item on the right. Text will not flow into this padding. The right padding will scale up/down relative to the actual image size displayed in the course.
Background Image - Sets a background image on the item. The background image will always be centered and “fit” inside the current item’s size.

Tips
- If the course will be translated, consider making the items as large as possible. This will allow the text more room to expand into if the language has more words.
- Items don’t need to have text. This means you can place the item over areas on your image and make the item interactive. This results in similar behavior to the hotgraphic but is a lot more flexible and doesn’t require a pointer to be displayed.
- To control the focus or stacking order of the items, you can reorder the items by clicking on the Items control above the image. The item at the top of the list is the first to receive focus (if interactive) and appear underneath any other item overlapping it.
- Sometimes using the item position and resize controls can make it tricky to perfectly line up multiple items. You can edit the position and item size numerically by opening the item editor.
- Remember to set Image Max Width before adding and positioning items. The scaling applied to the item’s position, size, style, animation all use this setting as a reference point to scale up or down relative to the actual image size displayed in the course.
