    <p>I'm making a page that will just display an SVG image, and here are the requirements:</p> <ul> <li>the vector should take up the entire window</li> <li>the vector should maintain its aspect ratio (defined in the SVG file itself)</li> <li>the vector should crop/clip in order to prevent skewing</li> </ul> <p>The CSS...</p> <pre><code>body { background: url(/path/to/image.svg); background-size: cover; } </code></pre> <p>...works <em>almost</em> perfectly except that when the browser window becomes too narrow it tiles instead of cropping/clipping.</p> <p>Here are some screen shots (please ignore the artifacts left by dabblet): <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/TnFfq.png" alt="window close to aspect ratio"></p> <p>Here the window is close to the aspect ratio of the original image <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/rancG.png" alt="window &quot;shorter&quot; than aspect ratio"></p> <p>Here the window is "shorter" than the aspect ratio, and the image is cropping (as desired). <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/NQYD9.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>Here the window is "narrower" than the aspect ratio, but instead of cropping, the image is tiling (undesired).</p> <p>Here are some thoughts that I had...</p> <ul> <li>Could I change the SVG image in some way to prevent this from happening?</li> <li>Could I markup/style the page to achieve the desired results?</li> <li>I would prefer to keep in the realm of HTML/CSS, but if Javascript is needed, then so-be-it.</li> </ul> <p>Here's the dabblet that I was working with... <a href="http://dabblet.com/gist/6033198" rel="noreferrer">http://dabblet.com/gist/6033198</a></p>

    2. COtiling occurs automatically for backgrounds in css, just use `background-repeat: no-repeat;`

    3. CO@pebbl You are right, background-repeat would prevent the vector from repeating, but that doesn't fix the fact that the y dimension of the vector is not properly calculated. The image should fill the y dimension of the window.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
