Colored icons are used to identify different components within a class:
This
magenta icon indicates a function which is a declared member of
the parent class.
The
magenta filled stack indicates that a member function of the parent class
is both declared and defined. These members are real in that they are
called during execution.
Where
magenta stacks are hollow, they indicate that a member function of
the parent class is declared but not defined. These members are
virtual in that they are not called during execution.
The
filled blue block indicates a data object that is manipulated by
a class function using operators, or methods, defined in the class.
