The Hierarchy view is a graphical view of your class hierarchy. You use this view to understand or follow class relationships. Figure 7.3 illustrates a multi-class hierarchy view for some classes.

The Hierarchy view gives you a real feel for the way your classes are connected with each other. You can expand and collapse a hierarchy at will.

See "Multi-Class Hierarchy Window" and "Single-Class Hierarchy Window" for details on the Hierarchy view interface.
