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.
