	The [[Component: ID f307403b 2134 4efa bfac bbd0adc0f253\|Scale Arc]] component properties allow you to change the colour of the negative and positive markings, labels and backgrounds as well as the resolution and shape of the canvas. There are many other properties available to change to customize the component to suit your desired purpose, you can change nearly every aspect of the Scale Arc just by changing the properties of the component.

			===Anchors===

			2D panel objects can be anchored to any edge of the panel, allowing objects to move when the panel is resized. Anchoring an object to opposite edges (e.g. both left and right) will cause the component to automatically resize when the panel is resized. The ''Min Width'' and ''Min Height'' properties prevent a resized component from becoming too small.

			If a 2D panel contains a single component, that component can be made to fill the whole panel and resize appropriately. To do this, set ''Fit component'' to "Yes" in the properties of that 2D panel.
