Standard Attribute Controls

A number of plot item attributes (the various aspects of a plot item that govern its rendering) feature standard controls within the Plot Items control set in the Control Panel. This means the way they are used on one plot item will be identical to the way they are used elsewhere, on other plot items. The most frequently encountered controls for plot item attributes are indexed here.
