## Toolbar{% #toolbar %}

Use the toolbar to configure and customize the component. The following options are available:

- **Color**: Select accent and fill colors for the body of the component in 3D view.
- **Type**: Select the type of your disk.
- **Size**: Select the size of your disk.

## API{% #api %}

Use [the Cloudcraft API](https://developers.cloudcraft.co/) to programmatically access and render your architecture diagrams as JSON objects. The following is an example JSON object of a Managed disk component:

### Schema{% #schema %}

```json

	"region": "eastus",
	"mapPos": [-2,12],
	"tier": "P4",
	"diskSizeGb": 32,
	"color": {
		"isometric": "#CEE0F5",
		"2d": "null"
	},
	"accentColor": {

- **region: string**: The Azure region for the component. The API supports all global regions, except China.
- **mapPos: array**: The position of the component in the blueprint. The API uses a unique X and Y coordinate pair to express positioning.
- **tier: string**: The tier for the disk type.
- **diskSizeGb: number**: The amount of storage available for use in the disk in gigabytes.
- **color: object**: The fill color for the component body.
  - **isometric: string**: A hexadecimal color for the component body in 3D view. Defaults to `#CEE0F5`.
  - **2d: string**: A hexadecimal color for the component body in 2D view. Defaults to `null`.
- **accentColor: object**: The accent color for the component logo.
  - **isometric: string**: A hexadecimal color for the component logo in 3D view. Defaults to `#0078D4`.
  - **2d: string**: A hexadecimal color for the component logo in 2D view. Defaults to `null`.
- **link: string, uri**: A URI that links the component to another diagram or an external website. Accepts one of two formats, `blueprint://` or `https://`.
- **locked: boolean**: Whether to allow changes to the position of the component through the web interface. Defaults to `false`.
