# Dynamic Sizing

When drawing the wallboards, the Wallboard app will dynamically size the data text font based on the width of the wallboard, not the height.
Shown above are 3 images of the same wallboard being displayed in 3 different column layouts, first 3, then 2, and last in 1 column layout. Notice that the height of the wallboard does not change as the width does, but the size of the text font changes with each different layout, and this may mean that some items of data displayed on the wallboard are no longer visible.
In the final case, when the layout is set to 1 column, you would have to resize the height of both the browser window and the wallboard to see all the data items you have selected.
This set of images above shows such a resized wallboard in first a 1 column layout, then in 2 and 3 column layouts. You see again that the height of the wallboard doesn't change, but the width does, and along with it so does the size of the text font.
From this you can see that the layout possibilities are very flexible but some care must be given to ensure that the data you select is fully displayed in each wallboard. This flexibility can lead to some unexpected results, as with the single column layout, which actually results in fewer statistics being displayed even though the wallboard is larger than with multiple column layouts. Here the single column layout makes the font so large that only a single stat can be fitted onto the wallboard.
Choosing the right number of columns and resizing the browser window and the height of wallboards may be necessary to ensure all data is displayed.
