editor-admin%

See Administrators for information about the role of administrators. The editor-admin% class is never instantiated directly. It is not even instantiated through derived classes by most programmers; each editor-canvas% and editor-snip% object creates its own administrator. However, it may be useful to derive a new instance of this class to display editors in a new context. Also, it may be useful to call the methods of an existing administrator from an owned editor.

To create a new editor-admin% class, all methods described here must be overridden. They are all invoked by the administrator's editor.
