2.2.4 Multi-tool
In MetaEdit+ you can choose what kind of tools you want to
use. You can view the same data as a graphical diagram, as a matrix, or as a
table, changing the view according to your needs.
All the tools are integrated through the Object
Repository, which maintains and enforces the consistency between the tools.
Suppose that you want to change a name of an element in the Diagram Editor. When
you accept the change of the name, if that element is present in other editors
it will henceforth be displayed there with the new name.
Similarly, all the editors have common user interfaces and
functionality, and only those parts that differ because of the nature of the
tool (i.e. diagram, matrix, table) are different. This eases the learning and
use of different tools in
MetaEdit+.
