Combined object features definition can setup a group of properties. It is a collection of

properties, established by all the respective properties of 3 kinds of objects (Graph Object,
Dynamic Feature Object and Interactive Feature Object). It can also contain only one
property.
Combined object actually is the combination of several basic graph objects. After
combination of several graph, the dynamic features of sub-objects are remained while
the interactive features are deleted.
Set properties definition for combined object means multiple-object properties of several
basic graph of the combined object replace with one symbol. It is convenient for changing
property value when coding.

all the objects and right click to chose
combine object command.

Combine a button shape object

W (shadow width)：it concludes 4 lines , called “Line Width” property.

TC(Upper Color):it concludes 2 white lines, called “Line Color "property.
BC(lower Color):it concludes 2 black lines, called “Line Color” property.
Text：it concludes text , called “TD” property.
