[graphic object] attribute templates: * [Paint]
palette for outline/fill paint. * [Font] palette
for texts. * [Stroke] palette for line styles. A
[graphic object] can have its own custom attribute,
but the usage of a templates provides great
advantages: * Attributes have names, so they have
means. * Quickly replace attributes along the
[application]. So if the customer (for example)
wants to replace the stop color of the items (not
red, but blue) you have not to change every
[animation] attribute, but you have only to edit
the Stop color attribute in the palette. A new
application has no template defined, you have to
define them or you can [import] a [graphic window]
or [library window] that include some templates.
