In-Plane Masks
The stacking order of in-plane masks is significant to how they add and subtract to produce the final mask. Their stacking order is within all the in-plane masks on a single tracker; it is completely separate from the layering of the various planar masks. Unlike the layering of the trackers, there is no visible list that shows the ordering; you should be able to discern it and manipulate it pretty easily without such a list.
Create. 
Button. Create a new in-plane mask on the selected planar by click repeatedly to create control points. Points are corners by default, hold down
control while clicking to create a smooth control point. Or double-click it later to change type.
Polarity. 
Multi-option button. Sets the selected in-plane mask to be positive (inclusive) or negative (exclusive).
Delete. 
Button. Delete the selected in-plane mask.
Create Circle. 
Button. Instantly creates a fixed-diameter, centered, circular mask on the planar tracker for use as an alignment reference when tracking circular features.
Move Up towards Top of Stack. 
Button. Moves the selected in-plane mask up towards the top of the tracker's (unshown) stack of in-plane masks.
Move Down towards Bottom of Stack. 
Button. Moves the selected in-plane mask down towards the bottom of the tracker's (unshown) stack of masks.
