Overview PCE's class hierarchy
The Class Hierarchy browser provides a hierarchical overview
of PCE's class inheritance hierarchy. Initially, it displays the root
and first level of sub-classes.
Classes are represented by a small box-icon, followed by their name.
The fron-side of the box-icon indicated whether the class is built-in (a
house) or user-defined (a face).
The Classes Hierarchy browser automatically displays
user-defined classes when they are created.
User interface:
The text-entry-field CLASS may be used to locate classes in the
hierarchy. The argument is a pattern (see regex->file_pattern).
All matching classes will be added to the hierarchy and selected.
LEFT-CLICKING a node will try to make that class the selection (i.e.
it will show a description of the class in the Card Viewer. If
the‘Card Viewer’is not yet opened, DOUBLE-LEFT-CLICK opens
it.
RIGHT-DOWN on a node presents a POPUP-MENU, providing access to the
ClassBrowser and source-code (if the class is user-defined).
