Grid Lines

On the help page for each primitive, there is a complete list of all attributes the primitive reacts to. Clicking on an attribute, you are lead to the help page for this attribute which provides for all the necessary information concerning its semantics and admissible values. The examples on the help page demonstrate the typical use of the attribute.
