All Squirrel365 plans include the Container component.

The purpose of the Container is to group several objects into one object. While grouping components will allow them to move across the main canvas as a single unit, the Container component is a more versatile way to group components and can act as a 'mini-canvas'.
A container is represented on the canvas by a dashed rectangle:

The Container properties consist of LAYOUT & POSITIONING, GENERAL and DYNAMIC VISIBILITY drawers. This guide will describe the general properties only; the dynamic visibility properties are generic to each component and a separate guide and tutorial on dynamic visibility can be found here.

Background - Set a background colour for the container.
Padding – The internal padding for the container.
Enable Scrollbars – Turns on scrollbars when content overflows the container bounds. When enabled the Scroll X and Scroll Y properties appear.
Scroll X and Scroll Y - Set the pixel position of the top(Y)-left(X) corner of the viewport.
