=== Inspector ===
There are various inspectors, some tailored to displaying different kinds of object. The most basic inspector has two panes. To the left is a list of the object itself (with the label "self"), followed by the instance variables in the object, which will include numbered instance variables in sequences such as strings and arrays. To the right is a workspace pane. Selecting a name in the list replaces the workspace's contents with a print string of the selected variable.  Editing and "accepting" the text in the workspace pane when an instance variable is selected will assign the result of the evaluation to the selected variable. One can "drill down" by using the "inspect" command on the list menu which will apply to the selected instance variable. More sophisticated inspectors (e.g. explorers) support finder-like tree access so that object structure can be traversed without opening additional windows.[[File:Squeak Inspect Rectangle.png|thumb|right|Squeak Inspector on an instance of class Rectangle]]
