## Description
Sets a component's position and size at runtime. The coordinates work in the same way as the system.gui.moveComponent function.

## Syntax
`system.gui.reshapeComponent(component, x, y, width, height)`

* Parameters
    * JComponent `component` - The component to move.
    * int `x` - The x-coordinate to move to, relative to the upper-left corner of the component's parent container.
    * int `y` - The y-coordinate to move to, relative to the upper-left corner of the component's parent container.
    * int `width` - The new width for the component
    * int `height` - The new height for the component

* Returns
    * Nothing

* Scope
    * Client

## Code Examples
```python title="Code Snippet"
#This code would go in a Timer's propertyChange script for animation.
  
if event.propertyName == "value":
   newX = event.newValue;
   newWidth = int(event.newValue*1.5)
   rect = event.source.parent.getComponent("Rectangle")
   system.gui.reshapeComponent(rect, newX, 150, newWidth, 80)
```
