SpaceChoose to run trailing based on World coordinate system (World) or Local coordinate system (Local)
(Custom is currently not supported)
TextureModeWhen a TrialMaterial texture is specified in the renderer module, the unwrapped form of the texture on the trail. Currently only Stretch is supported, which means to overlay the texture on the entire trail.

WidthRatioTrailing width. If WidthFromParticle is checked, the trailing width is the sample size multiplied by the ratio.
ColorFromParticleWhether the trailing color follows the initial particle color
ColorOverTrailThe trail color changes with the length of the trail itself
