3.2 Browsers and Graph Manager

Browsers are tools for viewing and editing the contents of the projects in the repository and for manipulating the projects themselves. Through the browsers the user has access to all available graphs and their currently loaded elements, such as their objects, relationships, roles, and properties. The Graph Manager allows inspection of the contents and links between selected graphs, and exporting them to another MetaEdit+ repository.

MetaEdit+ provides four kinds of browsers for viewing design elements. The Graph Browser allows you to browse the hierarchical structure of graphs, and the elements contained in each graph. With the Type Browser you can browse currently loaded elements by their type. The Object Browser shows individual object instances and their properties. The Metamodel Browser (shown in the Launcher only in MetaEdit+ Workbench) shows graph types and the types contained in them.
->Browsers often form the most natural way to find and open graphs, when the graph lists presented by the individual editors accessed from the Launcher become too long.
