The Separator and Container types

Purpose

To seperate two (or more) objects, you often want to put a line between them. A separator does exactly that.

In some cases you don't just want a line somewhere, but you want a box around an item. In that case you can use a container object and put the items which should be in the box inside.

The Type Words

When creating these type of object, the type parameters are:

PW('TYPE_SEPARATOR') for separator objects.

PW('TYPE_CONTAINER') for container objects.

The tags

There are no tags for these types. If you want to put an object into a container, create the container [cont= PWcreate (outline, PW('TYPE_CONTAINER')] and use cont as owner of the object to be put inside the container. It's as simple as that.
