The Element Settings is a modeless dialog that allows the viewing and setting of the properties of a selected element:
- If a single gene or edge is selected, the dialog displays its properties. Otherwise the dialog shows the global properties of the model in the active canvas.
- Change of selection or switching between canvas windows results in an update of the dialog.
- Changing a setting in the dialog has an immediate effect in the model.
- The display properties associated with an element are preserved in the model file and override the global view settings.
