I think this statement is still correct even though it now returns empty values if they aren't set. > > I thought that had been changed. > > It also says > > "When setting properties which contain both non-empty color and pattern > properties of the same type, the color property will take precedence." > > Maybe I'm misunderstanding what that means but it seems to be contradict > what the dictionary entries for the various xxxcolor properties say, eg "If > an object's *foregroundPattern* is set, the pattern is shown instead of the > color specified by *foregroundColor*." It doesn't contradict it. Setting a pattern will unset a color and setting a color will unset a pattern. That's why we needed to have a consistent precedence rule.
