The ** class-array ** ** ** editor ** ** allows to visualize and edit - to a certain extent - the contents of a class-array object.

General Features

In the class-array editor, rows are represented by a set of horizontal panes.

• ** list views** , if the components are other types of objects or values .

The following values can be displayed at the top of the editor by hovering the mouse over a component :

• the number of the current component
• the values related to this component for each of the fields, such as coordinates, if values are available.
