Grid basics

  • The Grid System

Layout sizings

Quick resolution to grid width and layout list, wip;

  • 240 x 320 (mobile)
    • 3 60px columns, 20px gutter (960)
  • 320 x 480 (mobile)
    • 4 60px columns, 20px gutter (960)
  • 480 x 640 (small tablet)
    • 6 60px columns, 20px gutter (960)
  • 768 x 1024 (tablet - portrait)
  • 1024 x 768 (tablet - landscape)
    • 960s has no far-left/right gutter, but there is space here
      • 12 60px column, 20px gutter

Columnal

Fluid Baseline Grid

  • Fluid Baseline Grid system was built with typographic standards in mind and combines principals of fluid-column layouts, baseline grids and mobile-first responsive design into a resolution independent and device agnostic framework. It is packed with CSS normalization, beautiful typographic standards, corrected bugs, common browser inconsistencies and improved usability.

Griddle

  • Griddle is a fluid and modular grid system for modern browsers — IE8+, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Chrome.

LESS

960 LESS

  • 960 LESS is an adaption of the 960 Grid System available at http://960.gs. This adaption is done to make use of LESS Mixins to, in theory, allow for less code to be used in the creation of a site. The flexibility of the mixins allows for pretty much any grid system to be usable, with margins of 10px per column. This allow, in theory, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24 or more columns to be used without having to create excessive amounts of code.

LESS and SCSS

semantic.gs

@import 'grid';
/* defaults to 12 column, 960 pixel grid system. */

@column-width: 60;
@gutter-width: 20;
@columns: 16;
/* overriding these variables after grid.less import */

@total-width: 100%;
/* for fluid (percentage-based) grid rather than a fixed pixels */

@include row(4,4);

@row($columns:$columns)
@column($x,$columns:$columns)
@push($offset:1)
@pull($offset:1)

Frameless

  • Frameless - Adapt column by column, not pixel by pixel.
    • adapts around 320, 480, 600, 900 and 1900 pixels
    • less, scss, grid overlay

SCSS

compass-960-plugin

Install 

gem install compass-960-plugin

Grid mixins (see Sasson's layout partials for examples) 

@import "960/grid";

Default is 12 colums. Set this in subtheme .scss; 

$ninesixty-columns: 16;

Give an element a grid attribute 

@include grid-container; - give to #page. sets width and auto margins
@include grid(8); - declare an 8 column wide element
@include grid-prefix(2); - add an empty 2-wide element before
@include grid-suffix(2); - add an empty 2-wide element after
@include grid-push(4); - push element 4 to the right
@include grid-pull(4); - pull element 4 to the right
@include alpha; - remove left gutter, for nested grid first element. must got after grid()
@include omega; - remove right gutter, for nested grid last element. must got after grid()
