4.3.1.2.1 The TEXT Attribute

The Text attribute is used to change the text string in a text object or filled text rectangle; it does not change
text size or font, and it cannot be used to change text in a previously configured submodel. If the attribute
box is selected and nothing is entered, the string defaults to an empty string ("").

4.3.1.2.2 The VISIBLE Attribute

The Visible attribute is used to configure the selected object to be visible, invisible, or redrawn when the
expression evaluates to true or false. If the toggle button for the attribute is selected, the face of the selec-
tion button will display the word Yes (visible, the default), Redraw, or No (invisible). Clicking on the selec-
tion button will cause it to cycle through these three states. The visible/invisible attributes are useful, for
example, if an object containing a warning message is to be visible only under certain conditions. The
Redraw attribute is equivalent to the Yes attribute, but with the additional feature that the object will be
redrawn each time the value of the expression (or any tagname or variable used in the expression) which
governs it changes. This is useful for objects which overlap and must remain "on top" of some dynamic
object.

4.3.1.2.3 The Filled Attribute

Use the Filled attribute to configure the selected object to be filled or unfilled when the expression evalu-
ates to true or false. If the toggle button for the attribute is selected, the face of the selection button will dis-
play the word Yes (the default) or No. Clicking on the selection button will cause it to toggle back and forth
between Yes (filled) and No (unfilled).

4.3.1.2.4 The FILL COLOR Attribute

Use the Fill Color attribute to configure the fill color of the selected object. With the toggle button for the
attribute selected, open the Settings or Properties window and make sure the Fill tab is selected.

Click on the desired color in the color palette. The number of the selected color (from 0 to 255, displayed
on the face of each color button) will appear in the entry box portion of the Fill Color attribute setting box.
Alternatively, the number of the desired color can also be entered via the keyboard by typing the number in
the Fill Color entry box. If this attribute is selected and no entry is made in this entry box, the attribute will
default to 0 (black).

4.3.1.2.5 The LINE COLOR Attribute

The Line Color attribute affects both lines and edges of objects in the selected object. With the toggle but-
ton for the attribute selected, open the Settings or Properties window and make sure the Lines tab is
selected.

Click on the desired color in the color palette. The number of the selected color (from 0 to 255, displayed
on the face of each color button) will appear in the entry box portion of the Line Color attribute setting box.
Alternatively, the number of the desired color can also be entered via the keyboard by typing the number in
the Line Color entry box. If this attribute is selected and no entry is made in this entry box, the attribute will
default to 0 (black).

4.3.1.2.6 The Text Color Attribute

The Text Color attribute affects text in the selected object. With the toggle button for the attribute selected,
open the Settings window and make sure the Text tab is selected.

Click on the desired color in the color palette. The number of the selected color (from 0 to 255, displayed
on the face of each color button) will appear in the entry box portion of the Text Color attribute setting box.
Alternatively, the number of the desired color can also be entered via the keyboard by typing the number in
