Anchors

Starting from version 2.3.12, Graphics Editor has the function of anchoring coordinates of a graphic object vertically and horizontally with other objects in the graphic composition.

The media_db_1080i50_20180307_2392 demo database contains an example of how the Anchors function works.

ObjectAnchorDemo elements are anchored, which allows them to adapt to text content specified through parameterization from the playlist.
