The Object Browser in SALOME is destined for displaying the structure of the current study in a tree-like form. It contains:
components, loaded during the current session
objects with the help of different components (The objects created with the help of a definite component are located in the folder having the name of this component.)
references to different objects (they are highlighted by red color).
The Object Browser is destined for getting quick access to different objects created during SALOME session. All pop-up menu associated with the objects displayed in the Object Browser are context-sensitive. So it depends on a definite currently loaded SALOME component what options you will see in the pop-up menu, if you right-click on definite object in the Object Browser.
The Object Browser may contain supplementary attributes of the objects displayed in additional columns. By default, these columns are not displayed - displaying/hiding these columns is possible through setting study preferences.
Entry - Identification index of the object in the structure of the study
IOR - Interoperable Object Reference
Reference entry - Identification index of the references to the objects
The attributes Entry, IOR, Reference entry are only for debugging purposes in the framework of SALOME application.
Value - Displays the value of the first object attribute
In the Object Browser you can apply to the objects an ascending or descending sorting according to one definite attribute.
To sort the objects by one of the attributes:
Click on the column of this attribute. An arrow down shows that the sorting is descending, an arrow up - ascending.
