The Class Window

The class window does its job very well, and is capable of handling very complicated inheritance structures. However, I found that for most applications, inheritance is used fairly rarely, and in my display, the graph tended to be very wide and not very deep. Also, because it utilises one canvas for the entire program, programs with very many classes required such a large canvas that it took a long time to scroll. A class window is a useful thing to have, but it needs a mechanism to limit the number of structures it displays at once.
