7.11.6. [ELEMENT_box] as wildcard element

The "Box" element constructs wildcard elements in the sketch frame, in other words, it defines position and measurement of the therein contained elements.

Box can be parent element of "Grid" (see Section 7.11.5, “[ELEMENT_grid] to place several derivations ”) and "Derivation" (see Section 7.11.7, “[ELEMENT_derivation] for one single derivation ”) element.

The "Box" element is declared with "ELEMENT_" followed by a unique name for the element.

Example:

[ELEMENT_box1]

The display in the Edit element dialog box is greyed out under Name.

The following attributes are available:

  • type= box (type )

    Declares element type and is mandatory.

  • parent = frame (Parent ) - parent element (optional)

    Box is embedded into frame element. (See Section 7.11.10, “[ELEMENT_frame] Combine more elements in frame ”)

  • Position and dimensions of box:

    Following input is mandatory.

    • position_x (X ): Specifies the x-coordinate of the top left point of the text box.

    • position_y (Y ): Specifies the y-coordinate of the top left point of the text box.

    • position_w (width [Width] ): Specifies the width of the box.

    • position_h (height [Height] ): Specifies the height of the box.

Example:

[ELEMENT_box1]
type=box
parent=frame
position_x=260
position_y=90
position_w=140
position_h=170
