-The basic engine to manage key--value pairs is |pgfkeys| which is part of \pgfname. This engine always has a key name and a key ``path'', which is somehow similar to file name and directory of files. The common ``directory'' (key path) of \PGFPlots\ is `|/pgfplots/|'. Although the key definitions below provide this full path, it is always (well, almost always) enough to skipt this prefix -- \PGFPlots\ uses it automatically. The same holds for the prefixes `|/tikz/|' which are common for all \Tikz\ drawing options and `|/pgf/|' which are for the (more or less) low--level commands of \pgfname. All these prefixes can be omitted.

 One important concept is the concept of styles. A style is a key which contains one or more other keys. It can be redefined or modified until it is actually used by the internal routines. Each single component of \Tikz\ and \PGFPlots\ can be configured with styles.
