Outline view</H1>
<P>The Outline view displays an outline of a structured file that is currently
open in the editor area, and lists structural elements.&nbsp;The contents of
the Outline view are editor specific. In the example below, which is for a Java
source file, the structural elements are classes, fields, and methods. The contents
of the toolbar are also editor specific. </p>
