Attributes

Attributes are used to add or remove characteristics to/from elements. Each element has a set of attributes that affect it, and each attribute can work differently for each element. Depending on the element, its attribute's value can be computed or simply verified; it can be internally stored or not.

If an element does not have a given attribute defined, this attribute will be inherited from its parent. Only a few attributes are not inherited: IUP_TITLE, IUP_VALUE, IUP_ALIGNMENT, IUP_X, IUP_Y, IUP_RASTERSIZE and IUP_SIZE.

For further information on attributes, see Guide / Attributes.
