Size

The size of the user interface of this object (width, height).


Coordinates
type: Coordinate
The location of the user interface of this object in (x,y) coordinates, relative to the object it is on top of.


Caption
type: Word or phrase
The name of the object in the project. This name must not contain '.' or '$' characters.

Every object has the Caption property. This property is very important, because it is the name by which Polybench recognizes this object.
It is allowed to give multiple objects the same name, as long as the objects are of the same type. In that case, a reference to this caption includes all the objects with the same caption.
In Polybench, every object can be addressed by an Address specifier, which starts with the dollar sign, for example: $My Page.My Object. 'My Page' would be the Caption of a page, and 'My Object' the Caption of an object on that page.

Documentation
type: See description
Optional documentation of this object.

It is good practice to write in short notes why you have used this object, and why its properties are set the way they are set. If this object is an operator, the Documentation text is displayed below the operator symbol.

Special dialog to change properties of this object: Text content

Details

The Note does not have many parameters to change its appearance. This is so, because the note should be easy and quick in use. If you require a colored text box for a user interface, please use the Text object.
