markup Markup RedlineTool  
maxArgs Accessor StaticReadOnly undefined | number RedlineTool The maximum number of arguments allowed by RedlineTool.parseAndRun, or undefined if there is no maximum.
If subclasses override RedlineTool.parseAndRun, they should also override this method to indicate the maximum
number of arguments their implementation expects.
minArgs Accessor StaticReadOnly number RedlineTool The minimum number of arguments allowed by RedlineTool.parseAndRun. If subclasses override RedlineTool.parseAndRun, they should also
override this method to indicate the minimum number of arguments their implementation expects. UI controls can use
this information to ensure the tool has enough information to execute.
namespace Static I18NNamespace RedlineTool The I18NNamespace that provides localized strings for this Tool.
receivedDownEvent boolean RedlineTool Used to avoid sending tools up events for which they did not receive the down event.
