Tcl routine:objectconfigure
Description
Each object has properties such as font, text, color, linewidth and
position. The "Configure Objects" dialog offers a versatile interface
to change these properties for any object or groups of objects. Several
parameters can be set that limit property changes to objects fullfilling
certain criteria. The most common method is to only change the properties
of the currently selected objects or of the current drawing. Property
changes can also be limited to a specific type of objects such as bases,
base pairings, base numbers, helix names or labels.
The top part of the dialog is used to
select which objects the options will be applied to.
The bottom part contains the options that might be changed.
Object selection
All actions will be applied to objects fulfilling the selection
parameters given by the
two optionmenus and
and entry labeled 'Tags'.
in the top part of the dialog.
The first option menu limits the scope to either the currently
selected object alone (Selection), the currently selected structure
drawing (Drawing) or everything on the page (All).
The second optionmenu limits the action to certain types of
objects, eg. only the bases or only the helixnames.
The 'Tags' entry limits the action to those objects containing all of
the tags given in the entry.
The action will only be applied to objects fulfilling all these parameters.
