### 7.5 Example Library

Msc-generator languages have quite many features and are not easy to learn. Hints provided by Ctrl+Space helps you to explore what attributes an element has and what potential values can these attributes take.

In addition to hints, Msc-generator contains an interactive example library demonstrating the features of each of its languages17. Just press the `Examples` button on the Chart panel of the Home category of the ribbon. A dialog box appears (close with the Esc key) listing the examples, the chart text for the selected example and the resulting chart.

The example list can be narrowed by keyword search, just start typing the keyword you are interested in.

The examples are editable. When you make a change to an example, the result of it is immediately reflected in the chart to the right. This allows you to quickly experiment with the language without changing the chart you work on. Any changes you make to the examples will be forgotten the moment you exit Msc-generator.
