No it's not just visual. Segmented switches are for switching views/modes. They are toggle-able. Select chips are for selecting input like radio buttons/checkboxes. They are not toggle-able.
Pardon my thickness, but I still don't get it. A segmented control by definition is "a linear set of two or more segments, each of which functions as a mutually exclusive button". That sounds very close to a radio button, just displayed in a linear fashion. You can only pick one of the options.
Same as single-select chips, they're kinda the modern version of radio buttons, and you can only pick one of the options in this case too.
You're missing the part where I said "Segmented switches are for switching views/modes. They are toggle-able. Select chips are for selecting input like radio buttons/checkboxes. They are not toggle-able."
"Sounds very close to a radio" does not mean it equals a radio. Everything is contextual. The context here is view/mode vs. input option, toggle vs. no toggle. Do you know the difference?
It uses multiples of six for spacing and sizing so that it's in harmony with the golden ratio. 6 is a perfect number so all its multiples divided by 2 and 3 will equal a whole number.
Just bought a license. Looking forward to trying it out on my next project!
That's great. Do you want me to add you to the Optimal UI team library for automatic updates?
Yes, I would appreciate that :)
Invite sent. Let me know if you have any questions.
Will you support Svelte apps, and not just React?
I'm curious about the difference between the single select chip and the segmented control below them. Is it just visual?

Nice! Could you please explain more about magical proportions?
