Properties of a Point

Here, we see the properties dialog of a point. Many items are common to all
property dialogs.
- The name is used to identify the object.
- The alias can be used instead of the name to display a label.
- The text is a description of the construction of the point.
- When the size of an object is displayed, it may have a unit. Enter cm, °
or anything like this here.
- The X and Y coordinates are specific for points.
- A point can be fixed, like many other objects.
- The row of colors is the object color.
- The row of thicknesses determines the stroke of the object. The last,
white thickness means invisible objects. This is different from hiding the
object, since the object can still be selected, and its label will display
nevertheless.
- The next row contains icons to hide the object (shift click to hide
completely), show its name, show its value, and the label stroke and size.
Finally, there is the icon to draw the point in the background. The last icon
generates a breakpoint for replay at the position of the point in the object
chain.
- The last row is specific for points, and determines the shape of the
point.
Some dialogs have a specific button to set a property of the object by
selecting objects in the construction. Her it is "Bind to Object". The dialog
will close and the user may use a circle, a line, a conic section, or a track to
bind the point to.
