inherits from GadgetWindow;
When the user touches the log button in the name cards scene, Magic Cap displays the log window, a window that shows all objects in memory that are related to the entity on the current name card. Magic Cap defines class LogWindow for this purpose.
Remember that if the documentation and the software (especially the definition files) disagree, always trust the software.
