Parameters are used to control object
transformation. That is, they control the position, size, color,
or rotation of the object. You transform an object by binding one
or more of its properties to parameters.
A symbol parameter can have one of the
following types:
- String
- Integer
- Boolean
- Float
- Double
- Color
- Paint
Changes to the value of the parameter result in changes to the
aspect of the object to which it is bound. For example, the width
of the
basicprogressbar
will expand to the right as the parameter to which it is bound
increases. In this way, parameters give intelligence to symbols.
To create a new parameter for the
basicprogressbar symbol:
-
Open the

In the Symbol Outline pane, right-click the Parameters icon.
