table-row-plus-next

Open athoma13 opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Before submitting a new icon request, please confirm the following:

What would you use this icon for?

insert a row next to the current one

Give us an example of what this icon might look like.

Combine icons table-row-plus-after and table-row-plus-before. The plus should appear in the middle of the rows

Could only imagine it to be like that, but IMO the table context goes missing with only half a row above and below... grafik table-row-plus-between.zip

Hi Hans,

Thanks for attempting this. That's exactly the icon I ended up using (sorry I should have tried doing a pull request to the repo as well). I hear you Re: table context going missing. In our case, we were using table-row-plus-after, table-row-plus-before, and 'insert-next' actions close to each other - so the context of the table was still apparent to the user.

If used in isolation however, I totally agree with you...

This looks like a table split. Isn't a traditional way to have a row/column that is visually offset to from the neighbours? Such an icon could easily have a plus modifier added for extra clarity.

As written above, I agree that the meaning of the icon is not clear without further context. IMO a plus modifier is not suitable here, since the intention was an addition to table-row-plus-after and table-row-plus-before. However, thinking about this again, I'm not sure if this addition is even needed as I can't imagine a scenario where you need to insert a row between two (selected) rows rather than either before or after one of these rows...

Hi Hans,

Agreed: The intention was to portray insert before or after the current row. Funny, I used exactly the same icon as the one you drafted. That suited our purposes. However, I cannot think of an icon generic enough to portray insert before/after current row. At least without also changing table-row-plus-after and table-row-plus-before.

I might close this issue...
