I have seen (I think)
graphics properties defined as graphics objects and graphics handles. So, there seem to be 3 names in use: properties, objects, and handles. I believe that properties or objects are the "things" and handles are the pointers. In addition, the term index appears to mean the class of handles and figures. But, maybe their are other views. In any case, what is the official terminology? The choice seems to be between properties and objects. I plan to use the term Structures in titles which refer to sections dealing with handles, figures and their objects? OK? |
