An algorithm finds a matching hot point among the near widgets hot points matching either the x or the y coordinates of the
source snap point. For line widgets, the source snap points are the terminal points of the line.
Managing overlapping widgets
When one or more widgets on the page overlap, you can manage their order so that one is displayed on top of the other.
The order of the widget on the page is shown in the combo box. A widget with greater z-order number is in front of an
element with a lower z-order number. A picture icon identifies static objects, a movie frame icon identifies dynamic objects.
Important: Correct ordering of widgets is essential for run time performance since overlapping
dynamic widgets can invalidate static optimization and reduce performance of HMI applications.
