Interface InspectableFactory

public interface InspectableFactory

An InspectableFactory may be registered with the InspectorFactory such that a Context selection made up entirely of instances of a single data type may be collectively described to the InspectorWindow via an instance of a single Inspectable whose PropertyModel amalgamates the property settings of the entire selection.

As with any other Inspectable, the Inspectable returned via getInspectable will stil be wrapped within an instance of MultiInspectable before being handed off to the InspectorWindow for display.
