| 'type-oriented' view of an XML Schema. A type is displayed as a box-like figure. If the type contains |
| elements and attributes, these are listed as fields within the box. In the WTP 1.0 version of the editor, |
| attributes of a complex type are shown in the properties page so now, they are more easily accessible. <br /> |
| <br /> |
| The 'focus object' is the primary object in the view. (To make an object the focus object, see the |
| Navigation section below). If the focus obect is a type, its inherited type will be displayed above the |
| figure. If the focus object contains elements or attributes, their references will be displayed to the right |
| of the focus object. <br /> |

| on the link, context changes to that reference. <br /> |
