Open Direction Top | Right | Bottom | Left
Select the direction in which the menu will open. Click on the above links for examples.

Menu X Offset
Option to move the menu along the X-axis relative to the menu's normal position. Entering a negative number shifts the menu left; entering a positive number shifts the menu right.

Menu Y Offset
Option to move the menu along the Y-axis relative to the menu's normal position. Entering a negative number shifts the menu up; entering a positive number shifts the menu down.

To better understand the previous two options, it needs to be understood that by default the menu will display directly beside the menu title. In some situations, though, it may be necessary or desirable to offset the menu from its default location. The following two examples demonstrate this point.

The first example is a menu with both the X-Offset and Y-Offset set to "0". This is where the menu will display by default.

The second example is a menu with the X-Offset set to "-6" and the Y-Offset set to "6". As you can see, the result of this offset configuration is that the menu overlaps the menu title.

Custom Alt Text?
If "No," GraphicMenu will use the menu item's link asset name as the Alt text. If text other than the asset name for the link is desired, select "Yes."

Title Link

Title Closed

Title Alt Text
Enter the Alt text for the title image. This option only available if the Custom Alt Text? option is set to "Yes."

Enter the number of items that will be in the menu. For each item, there are the following options.
