Figure 2.5 KnowledgeWorks Class Browser
The Class Browser is obtained from the KnowledgeWorks Podium by choosing
KnowledgeWorks >
Classes
. This brings up the LispWorks Class Browser with an initial focus on the class
standard-kb-object
. Go to the
Hierarchy
view by clicking on the tab to display the superclass and subclass lists. Double click on
NODE
in the subclasses pane to examine the node class used in this tutorial. Go to the
Slots
view to display its slots and click on one of the slots in the middle pane, for example the
ANIMAL
slot, to display more information in the bottom pane.
Other useful features of the Class Browser include the
Superclasses
and
Subclasses
views which display a graph of either the subclass or the superclass relationship, and also the
Functions
view which displays the generic functions or methods defined on a class either directly or through inheritance.
