markup Markup ArrowTool  
maxArgs Accessor StaticReadOnly undefined | number ArrowTool The maximum number of arguments allowed by ArrowTool.parseAndRun, or undefined if there is no maximum.
If subclasses override ArrowTool.parseAndRun, they should also override this method to indicate the maximum
number of arguments their implementation expects.
minArgs Accessor StaticReadOnly number ArrowTool The minimum number of arguments allowed by ArrowTool.parseAndRun. If subclasses override ArrowTool.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 ArrowTool The I18NNamespace that provides localized strings for this Tool.
receivedDownEvent boolean ArrowTool Used to avoid sending tools up events for which they did not receive the down event.
targetIsLocked boolean ArrowTool  
targetModelId Accessor undefined | string ArrowTool  
targetView undefined | Viewport ArrowTool The viewport within which the tool operates.
toolId Accessor ReadOnly string ArrowTool Get the toolId string for this Tool class. This string is used to identify the Tool in the ToolRegistry and is used to localize
