shortcut: Alt-b
To find out about available library classes, you can browse a library online
from within the Blue environment. To browse a library, you open the
library browser (item Library Browser in the Tools menu). The following
picture shows the browser main window.
The browser can be used to view different libraries. Initially it will show
the Blue Standard Library, but other libraries may be built and used by
individual users or groups of users. See B UILD MY OWN CLASS
LIBRARY (7.6) for details about additional libraries.
Each library is divided into sections, which are listed on the left of the main
window. Each section contains classes that are related – either perform
related functionality or are usually used together. The Collections section in
the standard library, for instance, contains different sorts of classes to
manage collections of objects – lists, stacks, sets, etc.
To browse though the library, first select one of the sections from the
section list. The classes in that section will be shown in the class area.
