Frame Browser

 

The Frame Browser (see figure 4.3) shows all information relevant to one object in one window. The window contains several subwindows with list boxes that show super- and subclasses, the classes, the instances, attributes and objects refering this object. In the center of the window, a small window with the object itself is shown. To view the attributes of the object, you must first select the attribute category in the subwindow ``Attribute Classes''.

Figure 4.3: Frame Browser

The Frame Browser can be used with and without a connection to a ConceptBase server. If it is not connected, it retrieves the information out of a local cache, which can be loaded from a file by using the ``Load'' button. The file has to be plain text file with Telos frames. All objects in the cache can be saved into a text file as Telos frames with the ``Save'' button. The contents of the cache can be viewed with the ``Cache'' button. The result of a query can be added to the cache by using the ``Add query result'' button.

The button ``Telos Editor'' inserts the Telos frame of the current object into the Telos Editor.
