ABSTRACT:
A help facility for a graphical modeling environment that determines the domain of a multi-domain graphical object and provides the correct documentation for that object in that domain is discussed. The help facility determines the identity of the multi-domain graphical object and the domain in which the multi-domain graphical object is instantiated. Once the domain and the graphical object identity are determined, the help facility triggers a help callback restricted to that domain that provides domain appropriate help for the object.
