Documentation

A class to contain the properties of an object. The DVproperty class is used for the data that gets put on the stack at each level as we traverse the tree structure. we also make (almost) everything public since this is basically a struct... Also, since in general, only the various draw routines and the routine to make this "stack entry" from the properties of the DVobject will have access to this, we can get by without being so protective. There is not a lot of stuff to mess up though--the colors take care of themselves for example.
we have a constructor and a destructor. Also since we will most often copy the current top of the stack to make a new top, we will need a copy constructor.
