  Position
   
The Position of an element has both an X and a Y position. Each of these positions is relative to the element they are contained in. All Model elements except the Root contain a Position. Note: When the justification or relationship is changed, the elements position on the screen stays the same. To have the change move the element, set both the X and Y position of the element to zero.

Options

  • Relationship: There are relationships for both the X and Y positions.
    • Former: The previous element in the outline. This lets you position a chain of elements where one is position relative to the one before it. Move one element in the chain, and all the ones that follow move with it.
    • Container: The element's container. This lets you position groups of elements relative to their container. Move the container and all the contents move.
    • Window: The runtime window. This lets you position elements independently of their former element or their containers. These are absolute positions in the Window.
  • Justification: Top, Middle, Bottom, Left, Center, Right side of the element.
  • X and Y: The horizontal and vertical offsets relative to the Relationship and Justification. Positive values are down and to the right, negative values are up and to the left.
