Attached screenshot shows a simple example.

It displays the inherited Flavors. Flavors are early classes on the <a href="https://moth.social/tags/lispmachine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lispmachine</span></a>. The Listener is also a drawing plane. The command takes the name of a flavor class, then calls the graph formatter with arguments. PRESENT-FLAVOR prints the flavor and makes it mouse sensitive.</p>
