Table Sections

The Object Parameter Table has a number of sections. Each section describes a certain attribute of the object (for instance, its position, dimensions, text, etc.).

You may hide any section or make it visible again. To show/hide sections, use the View Sections dialog:
to call it, select Sections in the View menu.

Some sections may be missing if the object does not have a specific attribute or function (for instance, control handles or the context menu).

To add sections, use the Insert Sections dialog: to call it, select Insert Section from the Edit menu.

Here is the list of sections the table may have:

Transform
Geometry
Endpoints
Controls
Connect
Variables
Line Properties
Fill Format
Protection
Text Transform
Character Format
Paragraph Format
Text Block Format
Text Field
Miscellaneous
Actions

One of the sections is active (its title bar appears in blue). You can edit the content of the cells in the active section.
To activate a section, just click its title bar or any of the cells inside it.

Each section can be minimized to the title bar. To minimize a section, activate it and then click on its title bar.
If the section is minimized, you can click on the title bar again to expand the section.

For some sections (such as Geometry, Controls, Connect, Variables, Font Format, Paragraph Format, Actions), a row of cells may describe a single element of the object (such as a control handle, a linear segment of a figure, and so on). It this case, operations on the whole row are possible: Add Row, Delete Row. They are available from the Edit menu.
