Using protoOverview

6

The protoOverview

was set up primarily to be the basis

for

protoSoupOverview

. Because of that, you need to do some extra

work to use just the

protoOverview

.

You need to define

Abstract

,

HitItem

,

IsSelected

,

SelectItem

, and

viewSetupChildrenScript

methods in your

protoOverview

. See

“protoOverview” (page 5-85) in Newton Programmer’s Reference for details.
