Elements are the building blocks of iShell. They are objects that can be displayed in the Layout window. There are different kinds of elements that serve different purposes and have different features. Elements may contain attributes, properties, events and even other elements. Elements have a type that cannot be changed which is indicated by the element's icon, but their names can be changed to be more descriptive. They have an order that determines their layering in the layout window. They also have a container and may contain one or more elements themselves. A collection of elements is represented in the Outline window as an outline of elements - much like an outline in a Word Processor. Any element can be opened in it's own Outline window - and this lets you focus on one element and its contents at a time. Model elements have a Hot Region that can be drawn with the Hot Region tools. The Element palette lists all the available elements for you to use. |
