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.

Name | Description | Values accepted | Default |
#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[]. | |
Position [] | The double[][] array with the coordinates of the elements. | A double matrix. | |
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. | |
Pixel Size | Whether the size of the elements is given in pixels. By default (i.e. false) the size of the element is relative to its parent panel coordinate system. | A boolean variable or a boolean array with true or false values. | |
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 transforms. | |

Name | Description | Values accepted | Default |
Visible | The visibility of the elements. | A boolean variable or a boolean array with true or false values. | |
Draggable | Whether the elements can be moved. | A boolean variable or a boolean array with true or false values. | |
Drag Group | Whether dragging the element affects its group. | A boolean variable or a boolean array with true or false values. | |
Sensitivity | The size of the host spots (in pixels). | A variable or array within integer values, 0 makes the full particle the hot spot. | |
Element | 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 |
Text | The text to display. | A text in a string variable or within “ “. Use an array of strings to assign different text to each element. | |
Font | Font to display the text. | Avalaible fonts of the underlying operation system. Use an array to assign different fonts to each element. | |
Position | 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 assign 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. Use an array to assign the thickness to each element. | 1 |
Draw Lines | Whether to draw the lines. | A boolean variable or a boolean array with true or false values. | |
Draw Fill | Whether to fill the element. | A boolean variable or a boolean array with true or false values. | |
