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.

Size Y | The size of the element in the Y direction. | A constant or variable of type double or int. | |
Size Z | The size of the element in the Z direction. | A constant or variable of type double or int. | |
Size [] | The double[] array with the size of the element in each coordinate. | A double array. | |
Transform | The transformation to apply to this element. | Use the editor provided or read more about transforms. | |
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 element. | 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 element can be moved. | A boolean variable or one of the constants true or false. | |
Drag Group | Whether dragging the element affects its group. | A boolean variable or one of the constants true or false. | |
Interaction Index | The index of the element affected by the interaction. | An integer value. | |
Sensitivity | The size of the hot spot in pixels (0 for the full element). | A constant or variable of tipe int. | |
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 make a choice. | |
Offset | The exact drawing position relative to the element's coordinates. | Use the editor provided or read about positions. | |
