Advanced Shapes

Image Bezel Radiused A purely cosmetic component for creating smoothly radiused bezel or frame to fit around other components, or to define the edges of panel sections.
Image Component Label Add a label to a component by including this component as a sub-component.The label will always face the viewer and move with its parent object.Text for the label is automatically read from the host component's name or any chosenproperty.
Image Component Labels Automatically generates labels for all panel objects and components in a given context.Labels will always face the camera, and can show the name of each object, or any chosenproperty. Nesting can be used so that components within components are labelled, and so on.
Image Marking control A control to draw markings on any component
Image Meter Square Square analogue panel meter.A simulation only component - the needle value is set solely by the 'SetValue' macro.
Image RxTx Flasher Simple indicator panel intended as a sub-component of communications components.The two arrow shapes can be set to flash by the host component to represent incoming andoutgoing data packets.The panel can be labelled and use a custom icon for easy identification. The icon areacan be set to open a pre-defined console window when clicked.LEDs can also be flashed by sending the component a User Notify event. Event'Message ID' is ignored. Data should be: 1, to flash to Rx LED or 2 to flash the Tx LED.

Modelling Components

Image Animator Basic animation and physics simulation for a single object.The target object can be set in motion by a simulation macro call, and will then continue inmotion under the control of the animator.Boundaries can be set beyond which the object cannot move, and the behaviour of the object defined when it meets them.Simple simulation of gravity and friction are also possible.
