Graphic Object Attributes
All graphic elements that you use in a graphic have attributes, that is, properties that describe the element. For example, shape, position, appearance, and dynamic behavior.
When you select a graphic element, all its element attributes are displayed in the Properties pane.
You can change most element attributes from the options bar and the associated menus. However, sometimes it is more convenient—or gives more precision—to enter the attribute values directly in the Properties pane.
