Pagers

The page indicator represents the currently active page and total pages of an overlay that lets you navigate horizontally between content.

Design elements should be anchored to the bottom of the
frame.

Principles

Stack are a container component, so they share design principles with cards and lists:

Clear Feedback: Pagers communicate where the user is within a carousel of content.

Contextual: The primary purpose of a pager is to provide clear and immediate context for the content it's associated with.

Concise: Pagers are small and precise in visual language.

Usage & Placement

Pagers show the user their current position within a linear sequence of content.

A user can quickly swipe through pagers.

Design elements should be anchored to the bottom of the
frame. They are placed above the system bar area and under the content area.

Cards are arranged in a row with no overlap
Allow cards to overlap. Only one card is visible at a time.
