Pixel perfect wireframe calculator

 

I was recently explaining to an associate how to calculate the widths and spacing of n objects in a row on an interface, and it seemed kind of ridiculous. I used Claude to generate a web app that will do all the calculations for you.

1. At the top of the page, input the canvas size, template dimensions, and design standards for spacing.
2. Enter a number of rows and columns that can easily be merged to create the objects you need.
3. Select the upper left and hold Ctrl while selecting the lower right of larger objects, then click merge. (The animated gif is worth 1000 words.)
4. Refer to the web app to size and place your objects perfectly.

You should still use multi-select to change the properties of multiple objects at the same time and the alignment shortcuts to speed up your work. Even though this originally came about while discussing Power BI, this will help with any pixel perfect interface, including Tableau and QlikView.

I will keep track of this and any other fun AI projects on the Fun Projects page here.
