public class LevelSkippingTableauFactory
extends TableauFactory

This class is an attribute that creates a tableau to view an object contained by the model associated with the specified effigy. When a model is opened, this object looks for a contained entity with the name given by entityName, or looks for the first contained entity if no name is given, and opens that entity rather than the model associated with the specified effigy.

Ptolemy II 1.0
