Detailed Description

Key-value list holding instances of BaseProperty.

This list is meant to hold an arbitrary list of "properties", which should describe the object associated with this list.

Usually you will use PropertyList as part of a DataNode object - in this context the properties describe the data object held by the DataNode (e.g. whether the object is rendered at all, which color is used for rendering, what name should be displayed for the object, etc.)

The values in the list are not fixed, you may introduce any kind of property that seems useful - all you have to do is inherit from BaseProperty.

The list is organized as a key-value pairs, i.e.

Please see the documentation of SetProperty and ReplaceProperty for two quite different semantics. Normally SetProperty is what you want - this method will try to change the value of an existing property and will not allow you to replace e.g. a ColorProperty with an IntProperty.

Please also regard, that the key of a property must be a none empty string. This is a precondition. Setting properties with empty keys will raise an exception.

Another use is to share one and the same property object among several PropertyList/DataNode objects, which makes them appear synchronized.
