Outline view

The Outline view displays an outline of a structured file that is currently open in the editor area and lists its elements. The content of the Outline view is editor specific. For C/C++ files, you find there includes, variables, functions and other C/C++ elements. If nothing is available for the file, a message is shown instead of a tree.

To add the Outline view to the current perspective, click Window  Show View  Ouline.

You can also sort the list of elements alphabetically. When you select an element in the Outline view, the C/C++ editor highlights both the selected item and the marker bar (left margin).
