Detailed Description

Stores various drawkit private variables in the metadata.

Stores various drawkit private variables in the metadata.

Note that the details of how metadata is stored changed in 1.0b6. Now, the metadata is held in a separate dictionary within the overall userinfo dictionary, rather than as individual items within userInfo. This permits the userInfo dictionary to be used more extensively while keeping metadata grouped together. Using this API shields you from those changes, though if you were accessing userInfo to obtain the metadata, you may need to revise code to call -metadata instead.
