property

Summary

Determines what editing handles should be made available on the graphic object.

If set to polygon, handles will be added to the corners of the polygon graphic allowing direct manipulation of the shape.

If set to strokegradient, handles representing the from/to/via properties of the strokeGradient property of the graphic will be displayed, allowing direct manipulation of them.

If set to fillGradient, handles representing the from/to/via properties of the fillGradient property of the graphic will be displayed, allowing direct manipulation of them.
