Set here global atom parameters, applied automatically to all current and future atoms to change their visual properties. These parameters are also automatically applied to current and future bonds. Slices applies to Solid atoms and bonds while Width applies to Wired atoms and bonds.

### Slices

In Solid mode, sets the number of fragments used to represent curved surfaces such as atom spheres and bond cylinders, thus controlling the visual quality of these objects. Increasing the number of fragments improves noticeably the visual quality but also decreases performance substantially.

### Width

In Wired mode, controls the line width used to draw atoms and bonds.
