Special Property Names
There is no actual limitation on the way shape properties can be named. Stencil developers can choose the names that best describe the purposes. There are however a list of special names that Pencil will provide special supports. The following list summarizes those special names together with how they are handled in Pencil.
| Property Name | Type | Pencil Supports |
|---|---|---|
| box | Dimension | Shape with this special property is supposed to be resizable.
Pencil will support resizing the shape by showing scaling handles
when it is focused on the drawing canvas. Moving those handles will
change the box property value. The way the shape is
scaled upon changes of this property is defined by the stencil
developer via the behavior definition. |
