Accessing and editing facets

Facets is a frozen slot in all control points and objects in the kitControl module. You can modify the facet values in a point’s property sheet, using the Config Facets window.

In this case a BooleanWritable’s default trueText facet is true—to modify you simply click to select, then type over with whatever text is needed. For example, change true to On and false to Off. When done click OK and then Save to make the actual point change.

Optionally, in addition to modifying existing facets, you can add or remove facet values in a point. On many points you may only modify or provide new values for default facets. In the case of writable points, you can add a facet to limit override duration.

Note: For string-type points (StringPoint, StringWritable), facets typically have little practical application. By default, the Facets slot is empty for string-type points.
