window.

The Block Properties window is where you define what the block will do.
As you can see, there are a number of properties that you can configure.

Caption determines the text description of the block. This is useful in
documenting the project, but we shall leave it unchanged for now and
come back to it later.

Line Labels determines the type of decision to be made by the block. We
shall use the standard If/Then/Else labels.

Switch T/F Paths determines in which direction the logic flow will
proceed, depending on whether the decision resolves as True or False. In
the default No setting, True (Then) continues downward while False (Else)
branches to the right. In the Yes setting, False (Else) continues downward
while True (Then) branches to the right. This choice affects the overall
readability of the flow chart and how the rest of the blocks will be
oriented. For this quickstart project, let’s switch the paths:
