Child windows?


  • Subject: Child windows?

In a document-style application I want to open a window in which to make an analytical plot of some data. This window will always be associated with with a main document window. I only want the window visible when called by the user.
I could create a window with its own Nib file and Controller, but I discovered the concept of a Child Window, and wonder if that would be a better approach. I don't find a lot of discussion or use of Child windows in the books I have, or even in Apple's documentation.
What can people tell me about using child windows and under what conditions are they preferable to a regular secondary window.

Thanks, Jim
