In experimenting with creating a custom inspector for my domain object, I came across the following intriguing method:
Float>>#gtInspectorFloatIn: composite <gtInspectorPresentationOrder: 30> ^ composite table title: 'Float'; display: [ ... {'binary' -> self binaryLiteralString. 'significand' -> self significand. 'exponent' -> self exponent} ]; column: 'Key' evaluated: #key; column: 'Value' evaluated: #value; send: #value
While it was easy enough to adapt this to my needs, I found the #display: and #send: sends quite strange. #display: seems like a strange API - like we're using an object designed to do something other than inspect objects; and I wasn't sure what exactly #send: did, my presentation seemed to function the same way with or without it...

Besides being odd, #display-ing an array of associations doesn't quite "do the right thing". When a row is clicked in a collection inspector, the next playground pane opens on the value, but in this case, the next pane opens on the fieldName->value association!

Never mind... ha ha... I discovered what #send: does ;)

:).
To summarize: - display: is a transformation that takes the input object and transforms it in a model object suitable for the presentation - send: is a transformation that takes the #rawSelection object and transforms it in the #selection and this is what the Pager reacts on.
