Detailed Description

IEditor instances are usually created by a corresponding IEditorFactory.

An IEditor instance provides an editor widget for a single IDocument via the IContext::widget() method. If the the editor type supports it, multiple editors can be opened for the same document. Multiple IEditor instances share ownership of the same IDocument instance in that case.

The IEditor::toolBar() is integrated into the toolbar above the editor widget, next to the document drop down.
