Gauge

Abstract

The i4designer Gauge component is a graphical rich indicator that can be used for displaying speed or levels, measured by a Signal.

The Gauge is a graphical rich indicator component that can be used to display the speed or levels measured by a Signal.

The Gauge component

The Gauge component can feature a contrasting color scheme allowing the user to adjust the limits that separate the low and high-range zones (green, yellow, and red).

The below table lists all the Gauge component properties:

Category	Property	Description
Common	Name	The name of the component, visible in other Designer locations (such as Page explorer).
	Object ID	Sets the Object ID of the component. By defining an object ID for the control, it can be passed as SignalPrefix when using parameter passing in navigation. The value of the Object ID can be used via a placeholder [OID] in other properties of this extension. The placeholder is supported in all signal properties, symbolic texts and states.
	Tooltip text	Sets the component's tooltip, to be displayed when hovering the component, at run-time.
Security	System authorization / Permission	The system authorization required to display the component. If the logged in user does not have this system authorization, the component will not be visible or enabled (depending on the set Security access behavior). If the property is left empty, the component will be visible and enabled for all users. Further on, the user can also add multiple System authorizations / Permissions, separated by comma (,). This property is named "System authorization" for projects created on i4scada platform. This property is named "Permissions" for projects created on i4connected platform.
	Project authorization / Role	The project authorization required for displaying the component. If the logged in user does not have this project authorization, the component will not be visible or enabled (depending on the set Security access behavior). If the property is left empty, the component will be visible and enabled to all users. Further on, the user can also add multiple Project authorizations / Roles, separated by comma (,). This property is named "Project authorization" for projects created on i4scada platform. This property is named "Role" for projects created on i4connected platform.
	Security access behavior	Sets the behavior of the element to either disable (grayed out) or hidden, when the logged-in user doesn't meet the conditions imposed by the Project authorization / Roles and System Authorization / Permissions properties. In case both Project authorization / Roles and System authorization / Permissions properties are set, the logged user needs to meet both conditions to be able to see and utilize the component, at run-time.
Layout	Layout mode	Sets the behavior of the element to either disabled (grayed out) or hidden, when the logged in user doesn't meet the conditions imposed by the Project authorization / Roles and System authorization / Permissions properties.
Layout	Margin	Sets the margin of the component relative to the drawing board area. The supported values are the standard CSS values for the margin. The top, bottom, left and right values can either be typed in the main property field or by using the Margin editor. The Margin editor can be opened by clicking the Open button. The components margins can be updated by setting the margin value and selecting the desired unit: Ems (em) - The em is a scalable unit. One em is equal to the current font size; Pixels (px) - Pixels are fixed-size units. One pixel is equal to one dot on the computer screen (the smallest division of a screen’s resolution). Percent (%) - The percent unit is much like the “em” unit. When using the Percent unit, the component remains fully scalable for mobile devices and accessibility.
Effects	Opacity	Sets the opacity of the component. The Opacity values should be numbers from 0 to 1 representing the opacity of the component. When the component has a value of 0 the element is completely invisible; a value of 1 is completely opaque (solid). By default, the Component's opacity is set to value 1. Using the up / down arrows the user can control the opacity degree. By clicking the Open button the view is extended to display the Opacity slider.
	Shadow color	Sets the color of the component's shadow. The user can either manually type in the HEX color code or use the color picker tool.
	Shadow offset X	Sets the offset of the shadow on the horizontal axis. The default value can be increased or decreased, either by manually typing in the desired value or by using the up and down arrows.
	Shadow offset Y	Sets the offset of the shadow on the vertical axis. The default value can be increased or decreased, either by manually typing in the desired value or by using the up and down arrows.
	Shadow size	Sets the width of the component shadow. The default value can be increased or decreased, either by manually typing in the desired value or by using the up and down arrows.
Signal	Signal name	Sets the name of the signal that will be represented or manipulated by the component. The user can select the Signal from the list view, by clicking the Open file explorer button, or by directly typing in the name of the desired Signal.
Configuration	DateTime format	Selects the time and date format for the DateTime Signal values. Available tokens are - YYYY, YY, Y, Q, MM, MMM, MMMM, D, DD. Further information are available in the "Year, month, and day tokens" chapter under https://momentjs.com/docs/#/parsing/string-format/. For example: DD.MM.YYYY hh:mm:ss
	High range end	Sets the value for the top limit of the high-value range of the gauge. The default value can be increased or decreased, either by manually typing in the desired value or by using the up and down arrows.

	Is alphanumeric	Defines the signal value as alphanumeric. If true, the signal value will not be considered as pure numeric and can be displayed without taking into account the property format.
	Is datetime	Defines the signal value as DateTime. If true, the signal value will be considered as date time and will consider the value of the DateTime format property.
	Low range end	Sets the value for the bottom limit of the mid-value range of the gauge. When the signal value is equal to the low range start value, the gauge color is changed to yellow. The default value can be increased or decreased, either by manually typing in the desired value or by using the up and down arrows. NOTE: usually the value of this property is the same as the High range start value.
	Low range start	Sets the value for the bottom limit of the mid-value range of the gauge. When the signal value is equal to the low range start value, the gauge color is changed to yellow. The default value can be increased or decreased, either by manually typing in the desired value or by using the up and down arrows.

Gauge with bands

Abstract

The i4designer Gauge with bands is an am-chart component that allows conditional formatting of different ranges.

The Gauge with bands component is a graphical rich indicator component that can be used to display various signal measurements. Unlike the Gauge component, the Gauge with bands allows conditional formatting of different ranges.

The Gauge with bands component

The below table lists all the Gauge with bands component properties:

Category	Property	Description
Common	Name	The name of the component, visible in the Designer location (such as Page explorer).
	Object ID	Sets the object ID of the component. By defining an object ID for the control, it can be passed as SignalPrefix when using parameter passing in navigation. The value of the Object ID can be used via a placeholder [OID] in other properties of this extension. The placeholder is supported in all signal properties, symbolic texts, and states.
	Tooltip text	Sets the component's tooltip to be displayed when hovering the component, at run-time.
Security	Project authorizations / Roles	This property is named "System authorizations" for projects created on i4scada platform. This property is named "Roles" for projects created on the i4connected platform.
	Security access behavior	Sets the behavior of the element to either disable (grayed out) or hidden, when the logged-in user doesn't meet the conditions imposed by the Project authorization / Roles and System Authorization / Permissions properties. In case both Project authorization / Roles and System authorization / Permissions properties are set, the logged user needs to meet both conditions to be able to see and utilize the component, at run-time.
	System authorizations / Permissions	This property is named "System authorizations" for projects created on i4scada platform. This property is named "Permissions" for projects created on i4connected platform.
Layout	Layout mode	Sets the behavior of the element to either disabled (grayed out) or hidden, when the logged in user does not meet the conditions imposed by the Project authorizations / Roles and System authorizations / Permissions properties.
Layout	Margin	Sets the margin of the component relative to the drawing board area. The supported values are the standard CSS values for the margin. The top, bottom, left and right values can either be typed in the main property field or by using the Margin editor. The Margin editor can be opened by clicking the Open button. The components margins can be updated by setting the margin value and selecting the desired unit: Ems (em) - The em is a scalable unit. One em is equal to the current font size; Pixels (px) - Pixels are fixed-size units. One pixel is equal to one dot on the computer screen (the smallest division of a screen’s resolution). Percent (%) - The percent unit is much like the “em” unit. When using the Percent unit the component remains fully scalable for mobile devices and accessibility.
Effects	Opacity	Sets the opacity of the component. The opacity values should be numbers from 0 to 1 representing the opacity of the component. When the component has a value of 0, the element is completely invisible; a value of 1 is completely opaque (solid). By default, the Component's opacity is set to value 1. Using the up/down arrows, the user can control the opacity degree. By clicking the Open button, the view is extended to display the Opacity slider.
	Shadow color	Sets the color of the component shadow, either by manually typing in the HEX color code or by using the color picker tool. As the component colors are injected by the default CSS, changing the color will overwrite the CSS.
	Shadow offset X	Sets the offset of the shadow on the horizontal axis. The default value can be increased or decreased, either by manually typing in the desired value or by using the up and down arrows.
	Shadow offset Y	Sets the offset of the shadow on the vertical axis. The default value can be increased or decreased, either by manually typing in the desired value or by using the up and down arrows.
	Shadow size	Sets the width of the component shadow. The default value can be increased or decreased, either by manually typing in the desired value or by using the up and down arrows.
Signal	Signal name	Sets the name of the signal that will be represented or manipulated by the component. The user can select the Signal from the list view, by clicking the Open file explorer button, or by directly typing the name of the desired Signal.
Configuration	Chart Max Signal name	Sets the signal name used by the Gauge with bands component to provide the maximum gauge value. As soon as a signal is set for this property, the Max property will be ignored by the system. The user can select the Signal from the list view, by clicking the Open file explorer button, or by directly typing the name of the desired Signal.
	Chart Min Signal name	Sets the signal name used by the Gauge with bands component to provide the minimum gauge value. As soon as a signal is set for this property, the Min property will be ignored by the system. The user can select the Signal from the list view, by clicking the Open file explorer button, or by directly typing the name of the desired Signal.
	Max	Sets the maximum gauge arc value. The default value can be increased or decreased, either by manually typing the desired value or by using the up and down arrows.
	Min	Sets the minimum gauge arc value. The default value can be increased or decreased, either by manually typing in the desired value or by using the up and down arrows.
	Out of Range Label	Allows the user to set the text of the label displayed when the value of the gauge is out of range.
	Ranges	Allows the user the possibility to define multiple ranges (bands), by defining the range value (From/To). Ranges can be configured to display different colors. By clicking the Expand array list button, a list of modular color range properties is exposed. By default, the Gauge with bands provides three predefined ranges, which can be customized as desired by changing the values of the following properties: From - sets the start of the range measurement. From signal name - sets the name of the signal that will be used as the min of the range. To signal name - sets the name of the signal that will be used as the max of the range. Text color - sets the color displayed by the range text. To - sets the end of the range measurement. Title - sets the text displayed by the range. Color - sets the color displayed by the range.
	Unit	Sets the name of the Unit measured on the Gauge's scale. This is a free text field, therefore, the user can type in any desired value (e.g. "kH", "m/s", etc). The Unit will be displayed by the Gauge with bands component only if the Show unit label property is set to True.
	Text	Sets the text label, providing multiple details about the Gauge scope. This is a free text field, therefore, the user can type in any desired value (e.g. "temperature", "speed", etc). The Text label will be displayed only if the Show text label property is set to True.
	Value format	The format of the numeric values. More details about the available numeric formats, can be found on the Github.
Appearance	End Angle	Sets the ending angle of the gauge radar (measured in degrees). Normally, a circular gauge ends exactly where it was started, forming a full 360 circle (at 270 degrees). You can use the End angle to end the circle at any desired point. To obtain a perfect angle, the sum of the End Angle and Start Angle needs to be 360. However, the user can customize the radial axis of the gauge, using the up and down arrows, or by normally inserting the desired value. E.g. By setting the End angle to 180, will make the radar face end at the horizontal line to the left of the corner.
	Gauge Type	Sets the gauge type, allowing the user to select the following options. Speedometer - Sets the gauge to a default End Angle of 55 and Start Angle of -235. ReverseU - Sets the gauge to a default End Angle of 0, and a Start Angle of -180. Custom - allows the user to customize the Start/ End angle.
	Range Size	Sets the size of the ranges of the gauge allowing the user to choose between Thin, Normal, Thick.
	Show icon	Sets the visibility of the icon, by toggling the switch as True or False.
	Show text label	Sets the visibility of the text label, by toggling the switch as True or False.
	Show unit label	Sets the visibility of the unit label, by toggling the switch as True or False.
	Show value label	Sets the visibility of the value label, by toggling the switch as True or False.
	Start Angle	Sets the starting angle of the gauge angle (measured in degrees). Normally, a circular gauge begins at the top center (at -90 degrees). Setting the start angle to 0 will make the radial axis start horizontally to the right, as opposed to vertical. To obtain a perfect circle, the sum of the Start angle and End angle needs to be 360. However, the user can customize the radial axis of the gauge, using the up and down arrows, or by normally inserting the desired value. E.g. If the Start angle is set to -90 degrees with an Eng angle of 0, a quarter of a circle gauge will be obtained.
	Toggle Range Name	Allows the user the possibility to show the names of the applied ranges. Therefore, by enabling this property, the gauge will show the name of a range, when the Signal value is within the respective range. If no ranges are defined for the component, enabling this property will have no effect at run-time.
Palette	Icon color	Sets the color of the icon, if the Show icon is set to True. The user can either manually type in the HEX color code or use the color picker tool. As the component colors are injected by the default CSS, changing the color will overwrite the CSS.
	Needle color	Sets the color of the needle. The user can either manually type in the HEX color code or use the color picker tool. As the component colors are injected by the default CSS, changing the color will overwrite the CSS.
	Text color	Sets the color of the text label, if the Show text label is set to True. The user can either manually type in the desired HEX color code or use the color picker tool. As the component colors are injected by the default CSS, changing the color will overwrite the CSS.
	Unit color	Sets the color of the unit label, if the Show unit label is set to True. The user can either manually type in the HEX color code or use the color picker tool. As the component colors are injected by the default CSS, changing the color will overwrite the CSS.
	Value color	Sets the color of the Signal value, if the Show value label was set to True. The user can either manually type in the HEX color code or use the color picker tool. As the component colors are injected by the default CSS, changing the color will overwrite the CSS.
Icon	Icon class	Sets the CSS class for the icon of the component. The icon can be selected from a large number of icons accessible by clicking the Open panel to see the icon list button.
Icon	Icon size	Sets the size of the icon, using the up and down arrows to increase and decrease, or by manually typing the desired value.
Typography	Font family	Sets the font family of the component font, selecting from web-safe fonts available in the drop-down list.
	Font weight	Sets the weight of the component font, selecting from the drop-down list options: 900 (fat), 800 (extra-bold), 700 (bold), 600 (semi-bold), 500 (medium), 400 (normal), 300 (light), 200 (extra-light) and 100 (thin).
	Needle size	Allows the user to select the size of the needle, using the up and down arrows to increase or decrease, or by manually typing the desired value.
	Needle start offset	Sets the starting position for the needle of the gauge, using the up and down arrows to increase or decrease, or by manually typing the desired value.
	Position Offset	Allows the user to shift the position of the textual information, such as: Unit, Text, Signal Value, and Icon, by using the up and down arrows to increase or decrease, or by manually typing the desired value.
	Scale font size	Allows the user to adjust the size of the textual information displayed within the gauge's bands, using the up and down arrows to increase and decrease, or by manually typing the desired value.
	Text font size	Sets the size of the text label, using the up and down arrows to increase or decrease, or by manually typing the desired value.
	Unit font size	Allows the user to adjust the size of the unit label, using the up and down arrows to increase and decrease, or by manually typing the desired value.
	Value font size	Sets the font size of the signal value label, using the up and down arrows to increase and decrease, or by manually typing the desired value.
Transform	Angle	Sets the rotation angle using the up and down arrows to increase and decrease, or by manually typing the desired degree value. The component angle can also be adjusted directly on the design surface by means of mouse manipulation.
	Disable flip	Disables any flip transformation for this component. This keeps the component in the default position even when its container is flipped.
	Height	Sets the height of the component using the up and down arrows to increase and decrease, or by manually typing the desired pixels value.
	Horizontal flip	Flips the selected component horizontally.
	Left	Specifies the X (horizontal) coordinate of the component, on the grid, using the up and down arrows to increase and decrease, or by manually typing the desired value. The component X coordinate can also be adjusted directly on the design surface by means of mouse manipulation.

Abstract

Check out this article to learn more details about the i4designer Signal value component and the properties providing its functionality.

The Signal value component is a data display control that can show the value of a selected signal.

The Signal value component

Category	Property	Description
Common	Name	The name of the component, visible in other Designer locations (such as Page explorer).
	Object ID	Sets the Object ID of the component. By defining an object ID for the control, it can be passed as SignalPrefix when using parameter passing in navigation. The value of the Object ID can be used via a placeholder [OID] in other properties of this extension. The placeholder is supported in all signal properties, symbolic text, and states. Example: Setpoint [OID]
	Tooltip text	Optional tooltip text, that will be shown on mouseover at runtime.
Security	System authorizations / Permissions	The system authorization required to display the component. If the logged in user does not have this system authorization, the component will not be visible or enabled (depending on the set Security access behavior). If the property is left empty, the component will be visible and enabled for all users. Further on, the user can also add multiple System authorizations / Permissions, separated by comma (,). This property is named "System authorization" for projects created on i4scada platform. This property is named "Permissions" for projects created on i4connected platform.
	Project authorizations / Roles	The project authorization required for displaying the component. If the logged in user does not have this project authorization, the component will not be visible or enabled (depending on the set Security access behavior). If the property is left empty, the component will be visible and enabled to all users. Further on, the user can also add multiple Project authorizations / Roles, separated by comma (,). This property is named "Project authorization" for projects created on i4scada platform. This property is named "Role" for projects created on i4connected platform.
	Security access behavior	Sets the behavior of the element to either disabled (grayed out) or hidden, when the logged in user doesn't meet the conditions imposed by the Project authorization / Roles and System authorization / Permissions properties. In case both Project authorization / Roles and System authorization / Permissions properties are set, the logged user needs to meet both conditions to be able to see and utilize the component, at run-time.
Layout	Layout mode	Sets the behavior of the component related to the page placement. The user can select the component layout from the options available in the drop-down list: Default, Dock top, Dock bottom, Dock left, Dock right, Stretched, Pin top left, Pin top center, Pin top right, Pin right middle, Pin bottom right, Pin bottom center, Pin bottom left, Pin left middle and Pin center.
Layout	Margin	Sets the margin of the component relative to the drawing board area. The supported values are the standard CSS values for the margin. The top, bottom, left and right values can either be typed in the main property field or by using the Margin editor. The Margin editor can be opened by clicking the Open button. The components margins can be updated by setting the margin value and selecting the desired unit: Ems (em) - The em is a scalable unit. One em is equal to the current font size; Pixels (px) - Pixels are fixed-size units. One pixel is equal to one dot on the computer screen (the smallest division of a screen’s resolution). Percent (%) - The percent unit is much like the “em” unit. When using the Percent unit the component remains fully scalable for mobile devices and accessibility.
Effects	Opacity	Sets the opacity of the component. The Opacity values should be numbers from 0 to 1 representing the opacity of the component. When the component has a value of 0 the element is completely invisible; a value of 1 is completely opaque (solid). By default, the Component's opacity is set to value 1. Using the up / down arrows the user can control the opacity degree. By clicking the Open button the view is extended to display the Opacity slider.
	Shadow color	Sets the color of the component's shadow. The user can either manually type in the HEX color code or use the color picker tool.
	Shadow offset X	Sets the offset of the shadow on the horizontal axis. The default value can be increased or decreased, either by manually typing in the desired value or by using the up and down arrows.
	Shadow offset Y	Sets the offset of the shadow on the vertical axis. The default value can be increased or decreased, either by manually typing in the desired value or by using the up and down arrows.
	Shadow size	Sets the width of the component shadow. The default value can be increased or decreased, either by manually typing in the desired value or by using the up and down arrows.
Configuration	Value format	The format of the numeric values. For more details about the available numeric formats, the user can be found on the Github.
	DateTime format	Selects the time and date format for the DateTime Signal values. Available tokens are - YYYY, YY, Y, Q, MM, MMM, MMMM, D, DD. Further information is available in the "Year, month, and day tokens" chapter under https://momentjs.com/docs/#/parsing/string-format/. For example: DD.MM.YYYY hh:mm:ss
	Is alphanumeric	Defines the signal value as alphanumeric. If true, the signal value will not be considered as pure numeric and can be displayed without taking into account the property format.
	Is datetime	Defines the signal value as DateTime. If true, the signal value will be considered as date time and will consider the value of the DateTime format property.
	Signal changed duration	Sets the amount of time required by the additional CSS class, in order to apply changes when signal value is changed. The value can be either manually typed in the designated field or increased/decreased by clicking the up and down arrows.
	Signal changed class	Sets the CSS class that will be applied to the component when the designated signal value is changed. The CSS class can be selected from the drop-down list, providing the following options: none, normal, danger, hand, warning, or running.
Signal	Array delimiter	Defines the delimiter of the values in the array. By default, the comma delimiter is set.
	Array index	Defines the index of the displayed value from the array.
	Is array	Sets the values as an array. If the value is true, the property format will no longer be taken into account.

	Security access behavior	Sets the behavior of the element to either disable (grayed out) or hidden, when the logged-in user doesn't meet the conditions imposed by the Project authorization / Roles and System Authorization / Permissions properties. In case both Project authorization / Roles and System authorization / Permissions properties are set, the logged user needs to meet both conditions to be able to see and utilize the component, at run-time.
	System authorizations/ Permissions	The system authorization required to display the component. If the logged in user does not have this system authorization, the component will not be visible or enabled (depending on the set Security access behavior). If the property is left empty, the component will be visible and enabled for all users. Further on, the user can also add multiple System authorizations / Permissions, separated by comma (,). This property is named "System authorization" for projects created on i4scada platform. This property is named "Permissions" for projects created on i4connected platform.
Layout	Layout mode	Sets the behavior of the component related to the page placement. The user can select the component layout from the options available in the drop-down list: Default, Dock top, Dock bottom, Dock left, Dock right, Stretched, Pin top left, Pin top center, Pin top right, Pin right middle, Pin bottom right, Pin bottom center, Pin bottom left, Pin left middle and Pin center.
Layout	Margin	Sets the margin of the component relative to the drawing board area. The supported values are the standard CSS values for the margin. The top, bottom, left and right values can either be typed in the main property field or by using the Margin editor. The Margin editor can be opened by clicking the Open button. The component's margins can be updated by setting the margin value and selecting the desired unit: Ems (em) - The em is a scalable unit. One em is equal to the current font size; Pixels (px) - Pixels are fixed-size units. One pixel is equal to one dot on the computer screen (the smallest division of a screen’s resolution). Percent (%) - The percent unit is much like the “em” unit. When using the Percent unit the component remains fully scalable for mobile devices and accessibility.
Effects	Opacity	Sets the opacity of the component. The Opacity values should be numbers from 0 to 1 representing the opacity of the component. When the component has a value of 0 the element is completely invisible; a value of 1 is completely opaque (solid). By default, the Component's opacity is set to value 1. Using the up / down arrows the user can control the opacity degree. By clicking the Open button the view is extended to display the Opacity slider.
	Shadow color	Sets the color of the component's shadow. The user can either type in the HEX color code or use the color picker tool.
	Shadow offset X	Sets the offset of the shadow on the horizontal axis. The default value can be increased or decreased, either by manually typing in the desired value or by using the up and down arrows.
	Shadow offset Y	Sets the offset of the shadow on the vertical axis. The default value can be increased or decreased, either by manually typing in the desired value or by using the up and down arrows.
	Shadow size	Sets the width of the component shadow. The default value can be increased or decreased, either by manually typing in the desired value or by using the up and down arrows.
Signal	Signal name	Sets the name of the signal that will be represented or manipulated by the component. The user can select the Signal from the list view, by clicking the Open file explorer button, or by directly typing in the name of the desired Signal.
Configuration	Period time	Allows the user to specify the period time measured in milliseconds. This property will be considered by the online and offline states.
Palette	Offline color	Sets the color of the offline state of the component. Therefore, the component will be highlighted in the selected offline color. The component will be in an offline state If the signal does not get any value updates after the interval applied for the "Period time" property has passed. The user can either manually type in the HEX color code or use the color picker tool. Applying this property will overwrite the default CSS class.
	Online color	Sets the color of the online state of the component. Therefore, the component will be highlighted in the selected online color. The component will be in an online state if the signal value changes during the applied time interval. The user can either manually type in the HEX color code or use the color picker tool. Applying this property will overwrite the default CSS class.
	Unavailable color	Sets the color of the offline state of the component. Therefore, the component will be highlighted in the selected offline color if no signal is set for the Watchdog. The user can either manually type in the HEX color code or use the color picker tool. Applying this property will overwrite the default CSS class.
Transform	Width	Sets the width of the component using the up and down arrows to increase and decrease, or by manually typing the desired pixels value. The component width can also be adjusted directly on the design surface by means of mouse manipulation.
	Height	Sets the height of the component using the up and down arrows to increase and decrease, or by manually typing the desired pixels value. The component height can also be adjusted directly on the design surface by means of mouse manipulation.
	Angle	Sets the rotation angle using the up and down arrows to increase and decrease, or by manually typing the desired degree value. The component angle can also be adjusted directly on the design surface by means of mouse manipulation.
	Left	Specifies the X (horizontal) coordinate of the component, on the grid, using the up and down arrows to increase and decrease, or by manually typing the desired value. The component X coordinate can also be adjusted directly on the design surface by means of mouse manipulation.
	Top	Specifies the Y (vertical) coordinate of the component, on the grid, using the up and down arrows to increase and decrease, or by manually typing the desired value. The component Y coordinate can also be adjusted directly on the design surface by means of mouse manipulation.
	Disable flip	Disables any flip transformation for this component. This keeps the component in the default position even when its container is flipped.
	Horizontal flip	Flips the selected component horizontally.
	Vertical flip	Flips the selected component vertically.
