Properties for the default page layout
as given in /Pictools.properties
Property definitions in Pictools are are multilingual and inherited. Properties
for a directory are defined in its Pictools.properties file. This
file is processed by propcon to
produce properties files for Makefiles, shell scripts, and programming
languages. Via inheritance, the defaults for many properties come from /Pictools.properties.
For details on writing Pictools.properties files, see the documentation
for propcon.
Also there you will find the override priorities for the various ways to define
properties. The first encountered definition of a variable overrides any later
definition. In a given directory, propcon starts scanning its
local Pictools.properties.Then it scans the same file in parent
directories until reading /Pictools.properties.
Finally it scans $HOME/Pictools.properties, and $PICTOOLS/Pictools.properties so
that defaults can be specified per-user or for all users..

On the source platform, MakeVars calls propcon to update Pictools.mkinc, which it then imports. On the server, php code gets properties from Pictools.php via functions in SiteProps.php. Propcon is not run for each page fetch, but only when Pictools.php is absent. To force a rebuild of Pictools.php, the old one must be deleted; usually via the command page button Rebuild dir/**/Pictools.php.
