(This is a work in progress!)


<b>Name</b>
<b>Name</b>
* name="SuperZenWidget" // name of the widget.  You will use this name in the code to identify your widget when you need it  
* name="SuperFLoater" // name of the floater.  You will use this name in the code to identify your floater when you need it  


<b>Width and Height</b>
<b>Width and Height</b>
* width="100"  // sets the width of the widget to be 100 pixels  
* width="100"  // sets the width of the floater to be 100 pixels  
** Note: This is the entire width of the widget, not just the label.
** Note: This is the entire width of the floater, not just the label.
* height="20" // sets the height of the widget to be 20 pixels  
* height="20" // sets the height of the floater to be 20 pixels  
** Note: This is the entire width of the widget, not just the label.
** Note: This is the entire height of the floater, not just the label.
 
<b>Left</b>
* left="10" // sets the horizontal position of the left edge of the widget to be 10 pixels from the left edge of the panel or floater
* left_delta="100" // sets the horizontal position of the left edge of the widget to be 100 pixels from the left edge of previously listed widget
** Note: Use left *or* left_delta, never both.
 
<b>Bottom</b>
* bottom="300" // sets the vertical position of the bottom edge of the widget to be 300 pixels from the bottom edge of the panel or floater
* bottom="-30" // sets the vertical position of the bottom edge of the widget to be 30 pixels from the top edge of the panel or floater
* bottom_delta="-30" // sets the vertical position of the bottom edge of widget to be 30 pixels from the bottom edge of previously listed widget
** Note: Use bottom *or* bottom_delta, never both.
 
***Note: All floaters, panels and widgets appear to accept these, so I will simply refer to them as "coordinates" rather than spell them out for each file.
