A spring is a 2D drawing element that displays a simple icon for a spring at given coordinates of the parent drawing or plotting panel. The shape is drawn relative (see the Position property) to the given coordinates with the size specified in each direction. The element can also be applied a rotation and a scale factor for each coordinate.
