# YCon Element

Specifies the type of behavior the y-coordinate of the control handle will exhibit after the handle is moved.

Value | Description | Behavior

0 | Proportional | The control handle can be moved, and it also moves in proportion with the shape when it is stretched.
1 | Proportional locked | The control handle moves in proportion with the shape, but the control handle itself cannot be moved.
2 | Offset from bottom edge | The control handle is offset a constant distance from the bottom of the shape.
3 | Offset from center | The control handle is offset a constant distance from the center of the shape.
4 | Offset from top edge | The control handle is offset a constant distance from the top of the shape.
5 | Proportional, hidden | Same as 0, but the control handle is not visible.
6 | Proportional locked, hidden | Same as 1, but the control handle is not visible.
7 | Offset from bottom edge, hidden | Same as 2, but the control handle is not visible.

## Attributes

Unit

Optional string. Represents a unit of measure. The default is NUM. For details about NUM, see Units of measure.

F

Optional string. Represents the element's formula. This attribute can contain one of the following strings: "someFormula" if the formula exists locally, "No Formula" if the formula is locally deleted or blocked, or "Inh" if the formula is inherited.

If the attribute is not present, the element's formula is a simple constant, for example, <element>5</element>.

Err

Optional string. Indicates that the formula evaluates to an error. The value of Err is the current value (an error message string); the value of the element is the last valid value.
