Changing the appearance of the Hierarchy view
The Hierarchy view offers three different ways to look
at a type hierarchy (use the toolbar buttons to alternate between them):
-
Show the Type Hierarchy displays the type
hierarchy of a type. This view shows all super- and subtypes of the selected
type. Type java.lang.Object is shown
in the top-left corner. Interfaces are not shown.
-
Show the Supertype Hierarchy displays the
supertype hierarchy of a type. This view shows all supertypes and the hierarchy
of all implemented interfaces. The selected type is always shown in the
top-left corner.
-
Show the Subtype Hierarchy displays the
subtype hierarchy of a type. This view shows all subtypes of the selected
type and all implementers of the selected interface (if the view is opened
on an interface). The selected type is always shown in the top-left corner.
