gives the absolute settings of options used by the given object.

gives the absolute setting for the option name.

gives a list of the absolute settings for the options name_i.

Details

AbsoluteOptions gives the actual settings for options used internally by the Wolfram Language when the nominal setting is a symbolic value such as Automatic, All or Full.
AbsoluteOptions[obj] gives values for all valid options of the object obj, whether explicitly set in obj or taken from global defaults. »
AbsoluteOptions can be used with the following visual objects:
Graphics[…]

Graphics3D[…]

AstroGraphics[…]

GeoGraphics[…]

Graph[…]
AbsoluteOptions can be used with the following user interface objects:
BoxObject[…]

CellObject[…]

$DefaultFrontEnd

$FrontEnd

$FrontEndSession

NotebookObject[…]
For some options, AbsoluteOptions may send a request to the front end to find the result. If the object obj is a user interface object, this will always be done.
User interface objects with Dynamic option values will resolve the dynamics to their effective values.
