Attributes

Some objects have an attributes property, which is a group of flags that you use to modify the behavior of the object. In shapes, for example, these flags allow you to specify--among other things--how QuickDraw GX stores the shape object and how editing operations affect the shape object. In view ports, as another example, these flags allow you to specify behavior such as whether or not to perform color matching when drawing.
