5.2 Browsing Reversi
In this section, we use the Functional Developer browser to explore Reversi.
- 1. If it is not already open, open the Reversi project.
- 2. Go to the Reversi project's Definitions page.
Note that the project window's Definitions page will only contain information if that project has already been built. That is because, like the browser, the project window gets this list of definitions from the project's compiler database.
The Definitions page will be the starting point for our browsing work. We are going to browse definitions in Reversi, and examine the relationships between them.
- 3. Expand "library reversi", and then "module reversi".
- 4. Double-click on
<reversi-square>in the list of definitions. - To find this definition easily, you can use the Definitions page's popup list to show only Classes.
- The browser appears.
Figure 5.1 The Functional Developer browser.
The browser arranges information about objects in a set of property pages, with the set of pages available varying according to the type of object being browsed. Though we do not describe all the possible pages here, nearly all have clear meanings. See "List of property pages" on page 92 for a summary of the pages available in the browser. (Some of these pages also appear in the project window.)
We now take a look at some of the pages available for <reversi-square>.
