From Affogato

Introduction

Values in the XML file fed to Affogato override values found in the AffogatoGlobals in the resp. scene.

This means that if a value is not specified in the XML, it is taken from the first set of AffogatoGlobals found in the scene.

If there are no AffogatoGlobals in the scene, Affogato creates a set of AffogatoGlobals with default values which then get overwritten by whatever values are defined in the XML.

Also see the AffogatoRender() script command in the Command Reference.

Booleans

Boolean parameters that have a value different than "off" will be considered to be 'on'.
