Edit=>Copy Format=>Style Editor
-------------------------------

The style editor is used to create and modify styles for diagrams, text-, 
rectangle-, ellipse-, line- and image-objects. A style is a list of 
property names without the values. For example, the style ``size`` contains
the properties ``width`` and `height``. If this style is used, only values
for ``width`` and `height`` are copied from the source object to the 
destination objects.

Other objects like the table object are currently not supported.
