be based on the status of a point) must be entered in the Expression: field.
The boundaries in which the object moves are inserted into the Active Expression Range/Required
Width: fields. The Maximum Width specifies the required width in pixels of the object when the
result of the expression reaches the Maximum Value. The Minimum Width specifies the required
width in pixels of the object when the result of the expression reaches the Minimum Value. A value
within the maximum and minimum values results in a proportionate width between the minimum and
maximum widths. The resizing also requires an anchor and direction in which to stretch or shrink.
This can be specified as the left of the object, right of the object or centrally to the object, by
