3.9 Metamodel Browser

3.9.1 Buttons and pull-down lists

The Default pull-down list sets the default project in which new types will be stored.

The Tree pull-down list lets you select whether the list of graph types is organised according to the explosion or decomposition hierarchy, according to both of these hierarchies, or according to the subtype structures among the graph types.

The Show pull-down list lets you select what is viewed in the list on the right for the graph type selected in the middle list. For example, ‘Object types’ shows all the object types in the selected graph type.

The Help button opens a window showing information about the Metamodel Browser.

3.9.2 Project pop-up menu

Open... allows you to select projects to be viewed and managed in Metamodel Browser and in other tools of MetaEdit+.

Close... allows you to close a project. The types, however, remain available until a new transaction is started.

New... creates a new project in which new method specifications or models can be added.

3.9.3 Type list pop-up menu

The lists of the Metamodel Browser have a pop-up menu including two items:

Edit opens a method development tool (Graph, Object, Relationship or Role Tool) for the selected method element.

Info opens a Type Info tool for the selected method element.

Hide / Show Hierarchy lets you hide the inheritance, explosion or decomposition structure below the selected type.
