autofit : truefalse:=false; Indicates whether the component will automatically resize to fit its contents. The default value is false.

attribute string :=; Specifies the value of an attribute that can be seen only in the component properties.  This may be useful for storing non-visible state.

editable truefalse :=true; Specifies whether the math expression can be edited, or if it should be display-only.

fillcolor : {list(nonnegint),symbol,string}:=[255,255,255] ; Specifies the background color of the component. The passed value can be either a named color or a list of three integers each between 0 and 255. A list of nonnegative integers is interpreted as RGB values in a 24bit 3-channel color space. The default value is [255,255,255] which corresponds to white.

height  posint:=200; The height in pixels of the component. The default value is 200.

width  posint:=300; The width in pixels of the component. The default value is 300.

minheight  nonnegint:=0; The minimum height in pixels of the component when autofit = true. The default value is 0.

minwidth  nonnegint:=0; The minimum width in pixels of the component when autofit = true. The default value is 0.

identity : {name,string}; The reference name of the component.

scrolldown  truefalse:=false; Specifies whether the component will automatically scroll down when its contents are set, when autofit = false. The default value is false.

showborders : truefalse:=true; Indicates whether the components borders will be shown. The default value is true.

value : string ; MathML representation of the content expression. This option can only be used if no expression argument expr is passed.

visible : truefalse; Indicates whether the component is visible. The default is true.

The MathContainer command in the Component Constructors package returns an XML function call which represents a Math Expression Component.

The generated XML can be used with the results of commands in the Layout Constructors package to create an entire Worksheet or Document in XML form. Such a representation of a Worksheet or Document can be inserted into the current document using the InsertContent command.
