Layers and objects get a PlotStyle property (ByLayer/ByBlock/name) applied
through named tables (built-in default.stb and monochrome.stb, our own
definitions). DXF keeps the names in the ACAD_PLOTSTYLENAME dictionary of
ACDBPLACEHOLDER objects with group 390 on layers and objects; tables kept in
the drawing travel in a CADCRAFT_PLOTSTYLES XRECORD. PLOTSTYLE sets an object's
or the current (CPLOTSTYLE) style; STYLESMANAGER lists, creates, edits, deletes,
loads and saves tables in our own JSON format (docs/plot-styles.md). A Plot
Style Manager dialog edits a table's styles and the layout's table; the
Properties palette shows the current plot style and table.

A PlotStyleTable model in doc with our own built-in tables (default.ctb keeps
object properties, monochrome.ctb prints black, grayscale.ctb prints the grey of
each colour's luminance). The render builder resolves each object's style by its
index colour (true colours by the nearest index) and applies colour, screening,
linetype and lineweight. PLOT/EXPORTPDF use the page setup's table (or the
plotStyleTable option); layouts with Display plot styles (PAGESETUP
displayPlotStyles, DXF plot flag 2) show it on screen and in PNG/SVG exports.
