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.

Options

All options can be applied by typing in a new value and pressing the 'Enter' key (or using the buttons labeled 'Select').
