Coordinate ​

The free-positioning root container — children are placed by explicit X/Y coordinates.

In Studio ​

In Studio, double-click Coordinate in the Containers category of the Components panel. It is added to the open view, where you can drag it into place.

When to use ​

Every screen starts with a Coordinate root. Nest one inside a Flex or Tab container when you need a region of a responsive layout to hold freely-positioned artwork (a mimic diagram, an SVG drawing) instead of flexed rows.

Properties ​

PropertyTypeDefaultDescription
Surfaceauto, card, flat, outlineautoThe container look: auto (default), card, flat or outline. card is a rounded panel with a hairline and soft shadow, outline is a rounded transparent panel with a border, and flat adds nothing. auto is card in a Daylight project and flat otherwise. It applies to a container nested inside another; a screen root is always flat.

Binding ​

This component has no single value binding.
