Message: [QUOTE="Stefano Crocco, post: 4555776"] Alle sabato 7 aprile 2007, Googy ha scritto: RDoc doesn't allow you to see the full class hierarchy, but it does allow you to see the parent class of a given class. It's specified just below the name of the class. Taking Fixnum as an example, at the beginning of the documentation page, there is: Class Fixnum In: numeric.c lib/mathn.rb lib/rational.rb lib/rexml/xpath_parser.rb Parent: Integer This last line is the one you need. It tells you that the parent class of Fixnum is Integer. You can also see it using ri: if you type, for example: ri Fixnum, the very first line you get says: Class: Fixnum < Integer which tells you the parent of Fixnum. If no parent is displayed, it means that the class inherit directly from Object. I hope this helps Stefano [/QUOTE]
