correction: terminology: handles, figures, objects, etc.

[Michael D Godfrey]

Sorry for the typo:
for "But, maybe their are other views."
read "But, maybe there are other views."

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?
