Eng:Backdrop Number (value)

The correct title of this article is Backdrop # (value). The change of name is due to technical restrictions.

The Backdrop # is a local value which is set to the current backdrop of the Stage. All backdrops have both a name and number identifying their position in the backdrops pane in the Paint Editor.
