- <h1>The attribute table</h1>
- <p>Many components have <strong>attributes</strong>, which are
- properties for configuring how the component behaves or appears. The
- <strong>attribute table</strong> is for viewing and displaying a
- component's attribute values.</p>
- <p>To select which component's attributes you wish to view, click
- the component using the Edit tool
- (<img src="../../../icons/select.gif" width="16" height="16">).
- (You can also right-click (or control-click) the component
- and choose Show Attributes from the popup menu. Also,
- manipulating a component via the Poke tool
- (<img src="../../../icons/poke.gif" width="16" height="16">) or the Text tool
- (<img src="../../../icons/text.gif" width="16" height="16">) will display that component's
- attributes.)</p>
- <p>The below screen shot demonstrates what things look like
- after selecting the upper input of our XOR circuit and scrolling
- down to view the Label Font attribute.</p>

- <p>To modify an attribute value, click on the value. The
- interface for modifying the attribute will depend on which
- attribute you are changing; in the case of the Label Font
- attribute, a dialog box will appear for selecting the new font;
- but some attributes (like Label) will allow you to
- edit the value as a text field, while others (like Label
- Location) will display a drop-down menu from which to select
- the value.</p>
- <p>Each component type has a different set of attributes; to
- learn what they mean, go to the relevant documentation in the
- <a href="../../libs/index.html">Library Reference</a>.</p>
- <p>If you've selected multiple components using the Edit tool, then
- the attribute table will display attributes that are shared among all
- the selected components (excluding any wires). If the selected components
- don't all have the same value for the attribute, then the displayed value will
- be blank. You can change the value for all selected components' attribute at
- once by using the attribute table.</p>
