All Implemented Interfaces:

NodeController
```
public class ChicController
extends AttributeController
```
This class provides interaction with nodes that represent ChicInvoker visible attributes. It provides a double click binding and context menu entry to edit the parameters of the node ("Configure"), a command to get documentation ("Get Documentation"), a command to look inside ("Look Inside") and commands for invoking Chic. It can have one of two access levels, FULL or PARTIAL. If the access level is FULL, then the context menu also contains a command to rename the node ("Customize Name") and a command to set the icon of the node ("Set Icon").
