Each of the image generating
            tools has a common UI area where properties can be applied. 
         
         The following table lists
            the common property controls and their function.
         
            
               
                  
                  
                  
                     | Property | Description | 
                  
                     | Format | Provides a selection of film formats. | 
                  
                     | Image Width/Height | Sets the width and height of the image produced by the
                        generator node. | 
                  
                     | Image Aspect Ratio | Sets the image aspect ratio of the image produced by
                        the generator mode. | 
                  
                     | Pixel Aspect Ratio | Sets the pixel aspect ratio of the image produced by
                        the generator mode. | 
                  
                     | Rate | Sets the rate of the stream produced by the generator
                        node. | 
                  
                     | Channels | Sets the number of channels of the images produced by
                        the generator node. Possible channel combinations are: | 
                  
                     | Depth | Sets the depth per channel (in bits) of the images produced
                        by the generator node. Possible image depths are: | 
                  
                     | Repeat | Determines how the generator node outputs its result
                        outside its source time range. Possible modes are: 
                           No Repeat: There is no repetition at
                              all, the generator outputs black frames outside its time range.
                           Hold: First and last frames are repeated.
                           Loop: Repeats the entire sequence.
                           Ping-Pong: Repeats the sequence from
                              beginning to end, to beginning, and so on.
                            | 
                  
                     | Mark in/Mark out | Defines the total number of frames the node generates
                        for the image. | 
                  
                     | Start Time/End Time/Offset | Defines the time range (and any offset required) where
                        the generator node is to output a result. It follows global time. | 
                  
                     | Lock Duration | Locks the Start/End time values. |
