Hierarchy of settings

[holtsetio]

There are many ways to specify settings for an element, for example by the command line, stylesheets, global settings withing the gfa file, element-specific settings within the gfa file, etc.
There needs to be a well-defined hierarchy which settings overrule which ones.

I would use this hierarchy:
(1) global setting in GFA
(2) stylesheet global settings
(3) command line global settings
(4) GUI global settings
(5) GFA single element settings
(6) GUI single element settings

Higher number setting overrides lower number
