# Wide Grid Layout Improvements ## Enhanced Column Specifications The grid view has been significantly widened to ensure proper column alignment and readability: ### Column Width Changes | Column | Old Width | New Width | Alignment | Description | |--------|-----------|-----------|-----------|-------------| | # | 2 chars | 3 chars | Right | Flow number | | Source | 20 chars | 24 chars | Left | IP:port source endpoint | | Proto | 6 chars | 8 chars | Left | Transport protocol (UDP, TCP, etc.) | | Destination | 20 chars | 24 chars | Left | IP:port destination endpoint | | Extended | 10 chars | 12 chars | Left | Extended protocol (CH10, PTP, etc.) | | Frame Type | 12 chars | 15 chars | Left | Specific frame type | | Pkts | 6 chars | 8 chars | Right | Packet count | | Volume | 8 chars | 10 chars | Right | Data volume with units | | Timing | 8 chars | 10 chars | Right | Inter-arrival timing | | Quality | 8 chars | 10 chars | Right | Quality percentage/status | ### Total Width Calculation - **Previous total**: ~93 characters - **New total**: ~124 characters - **Width increase**: ~33% wider for better readability ## Alignment Improvements ### Source and Destination Fields - Increased from 20 to 24 characters - Supports longer IP addresses and port numbers - Truncation threshold increased from 18 to 22 characters - Better accommodation for IPv4 addresses with high port numbers ### Right-Aligned Numeric Columns - All numeric columns now have 2 extra characters of width - Ensures proper right-edge alignment for: - Packet counts (up to 99,999,999) - Volume with units (up to 999.9MB) - Timing values (up to 99.9s) - Quality percentages (up to 100.0%) ### Visual Hierarchy - Sub-rows now use 4-character indent to match wider flow number column - Perfect alignment maintained between main flows and sub-rows - All columns line up precisely regardless of data content ## Layout Example ``` # Source Proto Destination Extended Frame Type Pkts Volume Timing Quality 1 192.168.4.89:1024 UDP 239.1.2.10:8080 3 types Mixed 1452 1.9MB 77.8ms Enhanced CH10 CH10-Data 1110 1.44MB 102ms 76.4% CH10 TMATS 114 148KB 990ms 7.8% UDP 228 296KB 493ms 15.7% ``` ## Technical Changes ### Formatting Functions Updated 1. **`_format_flow_summary_line()`**: Updated to use new column widths 2. **`_format_protocol_frame_line()`**: Updated to match main flow alignment 3. **Header formatting**: Expanded to accommodate wider columns 4. **Truncation logic**: Removed `[:width-8]` constraints that were cutting off data ### IP Address Handling - Source/Destination truncation increased from 10 to 14 characters before ellipsis - Better support for longer IP addresses and port combinations - Maintains readability while showing more endpoint information ## Benefits 1. **Perfect Column Alignment**: All numeric columns now line up properly on their right edges 2. **No Data Truncation**: Removed width constraints that were cutting off information 3. **Better Readability**: Increased spacing makes complex flow data easier to scan 4. **Professional Appearance**: Wider grid looks more polished and organized 5. **Future-Proof**: Accommodates longer protocol names and extended data The wide grid layout ensures that complex telemetry flow analysis is presented in a clear, professional format that makes the hierarchical protocol breakdown easy to understand at a glance.
