A set is just an empty element, that can host other elements (and sets). As such, a set has a position and a size, and accepts a transformation, but you need to add other elements to the set to make it display anything on the panel. The great advantage of sets is that they allow manipulation of collections of other drawables as a whole.

#Elements | The number of elements in the set. | An integer value. | |
Position and Size |
Name | Description | Values accepted | Default |
Pos X | The X coordinate for the elements. | A constant or variable of type double, int or double[]. | |
Pos Y | The Y coordinate for the elements. | A constant or variable of type double, int or double[]. | |

Size X | The size of the elements in the X direction. | A constant or variable of type double, int or double[]. | |
Size Y | The size of the elements in the Y direction. | A constant or variable of type double, int or double[]. | |
Size [] | The double[][] array with the size of the elements in each direction. | A double matrix. | |
Scale X | The scale factor for the element in the X direction. | A constant or variable of type double or int. | |
Scale Y | The scale factor for the element in the Y direction. | A constant or variable of type double or int. | |
Transform | The transformation to apply to this element. | Use the editor provided or read more about 2D transformations. | |
Visibility and Interaction |
Name | Description | Values accepted | Default |
Menu Entry | The name to display in the simulationĀ“s corresponding elements menu entry. | A String constant or variable. | |
Visible | The visibility of the elements. | A boolean variable or a boolean array with true or false values. | |
Measured | Whether the element affects its parent panel's autoscaling. | A boolean variable or one of the constants true or false. | |
Draggable | Whether the elements can be moved. | A boolean variable or a boolean array with true or false values. | |

Resize Group | Whether resizing the element affects its group. | A boolean variable or a boolean array with true or false values. | |
Sensitivity | The size of the hot spots (in pixels). | A variable or array within integer values, 0 makes the full particle the hot spot. | |
Interaction Index | The index of the element affected by the interaction. | An integer value. | |
On Press | The action to invoke when the element is pressed. | The Java code to invoke for the action. | |
On Drag | The action to invoke when the element is dragged. | The Java code to invoke for the action. | |
On Release | The action to invoke when the element is released. | The Java code to invoke for the action. | |
On Enter | The action to invoke when the mouse enters the element. | The Java code to invoke for the action. | |
On Exit | The action to invoke when the mouse leaves the element. | The Java code to invoke for the action. | |
Graphical Aspect |
Name | Description | Values accepted | Default |
Style | The drawing style for the element. | Use the editor provided to choose a style. Use an array to assing a style to each element. | |
Offset | The exact drawing position relative to the element's coordinates. | Use the editor provided or read about positions. Use an array to assign a position to each element. | |
Line Color | The color used for the lines of the element. | Use the editor provided or read about colors. | |
Fill Color | The color used to fill the element. | Use the editor provided or read about colors. The special value null draws a hollow element. Use an array to assing a color to each element. | |
Extra Color | The addictional color for the element. | Use the editor provided or read about colors. The special value null draws a hollow element. Use an array to assing a color to each element. | |
Line Width | The thickness for the lines of the element. | A constant or variable of type double or int indicates the thickness. | 1 |
Draw Fill | Whether to fill the element. | A boolean variable or a boolean array with true or false values. | |
