public interface DisplayChronology
extends Displayable

An interface that describes the capability of an object to present itself within a component. This is meant fully general, and should be used for any graphical (sub)sytem that can be ordered in a single panel. Note: the method Displayable.getRepresentation() returns the basic Component object, but subclasses are encouraged to return more specific sublasses, like JPanel of the generic component class.
This class it not intended for classes that directly subclass Component or its daugther classes. It is a common base for classes that only purpose is to be displayed, but want to extend a different superclass.
