Argument	Type	Use	Description
propertiesList	Numeric	Update	specifies the identifer of a list that when returned is filled with widget properties
units	Character	Input	specifies the units of the region's size: CHARACTERS, INCHES, CM, MM, FONTS (default), PIXELS

Details

Note that propertiesList is filled from the attributes specified in the Object Attributes window plus attributes specified in the Region Attributes window.

The region attributes are contained in a sublist called _region. The format of this list is described in the _new method in the Class class.

Not all methods that modify an object also modify the values in the list. That is, the list returned by _getProperties reflects the initial data used when the object was initialized and does not necessarily reflect the current state of the object.
