"Transform" Section
This section contains parameters which define the position, size and orientation of the
object.
Note that the coordinate system is based on the alignment box of the object: the
coordinate origin is in the top left-hand corner, the horizontal coordinates increase as
you move from left to right, and the vertical coordinates increase as you move from top to
bottom.
Since an object may be part of a parent group, the following parameters describe its position within the group (with relation to the coordinate system of the group):
OriginX, OriginY, Angle, LocPinX, LocPinY - for a 2D object
BeginX, BeginY, EndX, EndY, Angle, LocPinX, LocPinY - for a 1D object.
Note: If an object isn't part of any parent group, it is taken to belong to the group formed by the entire page.
Here are the fields of the section:
Width
Describes the width of the alignment box of the object.
In the Formulas mode, you can see the data in tenths of millimeters, in
the Values mode the content is displayed in the current unit of measure.
As a rule, the Width parameter is used as a variable in formulas
for other fields.
For 1D objects, this field usually contains the following formula:
_HYP(EndX-BeginX;EndY-BeginY).
If the object is part of a group, its width is described through the width and height
of the parent group.
For example: _HYP(Parent.Width*0.308575;Parent.Height*0.283963).
Height
Describes the height of the alignment box of the object.
In the Formulas mode, you see the data in tenths of millimeters; in the Values
mode the data is displayed in the current unit of measure.
As a rule, the Height parameter is used as a variable in
formulas for other fields.
As a rule, this field holds a number.
If the object is part of a group, its height is described through the width and height of
the parent group.
For example: _HYP(Parent.Width*0.267234;Parent.Height*0.081973).
Angle
Describes the angle of the object with respect to its parent group.
In the Formulas mode, you see the angle in radians, in the Values
mode the angle is displayed in degrees. The angle value may range within [-180 deg,
180 deg].
For 1D objects, this field usually contains the following formula:
FlipX*_PI()+_ATAN2(EndY-BeginY;EndX-BeginX).
OriginX
Specifies the X offset of the rotation centre of the object with respect to its parent
group.
In the Formulas mode, you see the data in tenths of millimeters, in the Values
mode the data is displayed in the current unit of measure.
OriginY
Specifies the Y offset of the rotation centre of the object with respect to its parent
group.
In the Formulas mode, you see the data in tenths of millimeters, in the Values
mode the data is displayed in the current unit of measure.
LocPinX
Describes the X offset of the rotation centre of the object with relation to the
coordinate origin of the object.
In the Formulas mode, you see the data in tenths of millimeters, in the Values
mode the data is displayed in the current unit of measure.
The default formula is Width*0.5.
LocPinY
Describes the Y offset of the rotation centre of the object with relation to the
coordinate origin of the object.
In the Formulas mode, you see the data in tenths of millimeters, in the Values
mode the data is displayed in the current unit of measure.
The default formula is Height*0.5.
FlipX
The flag for horizontal flipping. This is a binary value:
FALSE - the object isn't flipped ;
TRUE - the object is flipped.
FlipY
The flag for vertical flipping. This is a binary value:
FALSE - the object isn't flipped ;
TRUE - the object is flipped.
