New post on Xcelsius Canvas Containers @ http://davidlai101.com/blog/2010/03/26/xcelsius-canvas-container/ - posted on Mar 26, 2010


Xcelsius Canvas Container
In this article I’ve attached a video that talks about the new Canvas Container feature in Xcelsius 2008 SP3.
I found that the Canvas container is very easy to use and provides the same functionality as the group method but allows the flexibility of moving objects in and out of the canvas very easily.
I totally recommend that Xcelsius developers use the Canvas container method to group objects instead of the old grouping method.
I am curious of the canvas container performance and if it is buggy as I have not experienced any problems yet, so please feel free to comment with your experiences.
