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 basicprogressbar
symbol.
-
In the Symbol Outline pane, right-click the Parameters icon.
-
In the pop-up menu, select New Parameter.
-
Type progress
in the Name field
of the Styling Customizer.
-
Press Enter.
The progress parameter
is listed in the Symbol Outline pane.
-
From the Type list,
select Integer.
-
Leave the Default Value field
as 0 (zero).
