The graphical control element inspector window is a type of dialog window that shows a list of the current attributes of a selected object and allows these parameters to be changed on the fly.
A common use is in Integrated Development Environments, where the window shows the changing values of variables associated to an object during a debugging session.
For example, in a vector graphics application the user creates drawings out from elements such as lines, rectangles and circles.
When such an element is selected on the page, an inspector will show the current size and absolute position on the page of this element with numbers.
