* InspectorPanel:
* This object implements a standard inspector panel, similar to
* the inspector panel in InterfaceBuilder. Inspectors have three
* important parts that define the "inspector" part of its
* functionallity,
* A control to determine current inspector
* View where variable part of inspector is be displayed.
* View that will be scrolled around in variable part.
* This object allows the programmer to make connections to all
* elements of the inspector inside a single nib file. It assumes
* that the there is a view that acts as the template for the size
* of the changable area, an offscreen window that holds the
* images of the of the inspectors, and some kind of matrix of
* buttons that will determine the current inspector, usually
* a popup list.
*
* This Panel assumes that all of the inspectors are tiled in
* a single window. That window (contentView) is scrolled around
* behind a ClipView that is the size of a single inspector.
*
* All other functionality of the InspectorPanel is identical to
* that of standard Panels. Any number of non changable views
* can coexist with the inspection area.
*
* inspectorView
* is the view where the information will be
* displayed in the inspectorPanel. It is a ClipView that
* gives the InspectorPanel size and location information.
*
* offscreenWindow
* is the window who's content view will be
* moved around inside the inspectorView. The order of the views
* (in reference to the order of the popup list is
* .
* .
* .
* m+1 m+2 m+3 ...
* n+1 n+2 n+3 ...
* 0 1 2
* setup the offscreenWindow as:
* NOT visible on launch
* NO resizebar
* NOT deferred
*
*
* The message
* -updateInspector:
* causes the sender to be checked to figure out how the offscreen
* window should be displayed in the clipview and notifies the
* the delegate of the change.
