OpenersNotesSection(Spacer1)Details

(RefLink[AbsoluteOptions, paclet:ref/AbsoluteOptions]) gives the actual settings for options used internally by the Wolfram Language when the setting given is (RefLink[Automatic, paclet:ref/Automatic]) or (RefLink[All, paclet:ref/All]).

(RefLink[AbsoluteOptions, paclet:ref/AbsoluteOptions]) returns lists of rules, just like (RefLink[Options, paclet:ref/Options]).

You can use (RefLink[AbsoluteOptions, paclet:ref/AbsoluteOptions]) on graphics options such as (RefLink[PlotRange, paclet:ref/PlotRange]) and (RefLink[Ticks, paclet:ref/Ticks]).

If object is a front end object such as (RefLink[$FrontEnd, paclet:ref/$FrontEnd]), (RefLink[NotebookObject, paclet:ref/NotebookObject]), or (RefLink[CellObject, paclet:ref/CellObject]), the kernel will send a request to the front end to find the result.

Front end objects with (RefLink[Dynamic, paclet:ref/Dynamic]) option values will resolve the dynamics to their effective values.
