5 The Class Browser

The class browser is a tool which allows you to examine Common Lisp class definitions. The class browser has five areas. The first, at the top of the window, shows the class's Common Lisp name. This is called the name area.

The second, below the name area and on the left, provides a list of the class's superclasses, if it has any. This is called the superclass area.

The third area, to the right of the superclass area, provides a list of the class's subclasses, if it has any. This is called the subclass area.

The fourth area, below the superclass and subclass areas, provides a list of the class's slot names, if there are any. This is called the slot area.

The final area, at the bottom of the class browser window, provides descriptions of class slot definitions. This is called the definition area.
