7 The Class Browser

The Class Browser allows you to examine Common Lisp classes. It contains seven views, allowing you to view class information in a number of different ways. You can display each view by clicking the appropriate tab. The available views are as follows:

To create a Class Browser, choose Window > Tools > Class Browser . Alternatively, use Esc X Describe Class in an Editor or choose Class from any submenu that provides the standard action commands to invoke a Class Browser on the Lisp object referred to by that submenu. This automatically browses the class of the Lisp object. For more information on how the standard action commands refer to objects in the environment, see Performing operations on selected objects.
