Usage

Define the rendering and behavior of an image stack item, with a IMAGE element inside a STACK container.

Note: The IMAGE stack item can be used inside a stack container like a group, or as root element of the STACK container: When used directly under the STACK container, the IMAGE stack item must be the only element in the container. It will be rendered a scalable form item that can stretch to fit the front-end screen size.
