public class TextEditorTableauFactory
extends TableauFactory
implements TextEditorFactory

This class is an attribute that creates a text editor to edit a specified string attribute in the container of this attribute. It is similar to TextEditorConfigureFactory, but instead of opening when the actor is configured, it is opened when the user looks inside the actor.
