3.4 Object Details

The Object Details view displays information about the object selected in the Hierarchy View in a read-only manner, see Figure 3.9. You can see the documentation to the selected object, its superordinate objects in a graph, list of subordinate objects, and so on. All references to other objects are hyperlinked, including objects in the superordinate graph. The hyperlink can be used to navigate to hyperlinked object, or to display tooltip information.

3.4.1 Superordinates Graph

The superordinates graph displays concepts that are in some way “superordinate” to the selected object. Superordinates may be superclasses, classes the selected object is an instance of, superrelations, hypernyms, etc. By default, only an excerpt from the full superordinates graph is shown. If you want to see the full graph, follow the “Full...” link.

The Figure 3.10 and Figure 3.11 summarize the color scheme used in the superordinates graph.
