	-- INSTANCES PROPERTIES --
	--------------------------
	-- * Unlike class properties above, they are created in each instance of the class. They are directly accessible in the objects.
	-- * They are C++ objects exposed through the metatable mechanism
	-- * They are *READ-ONLY*. They should be modified by network commands like r2.requestSetNode and the like
	--                         To store client side transcient values, use the native property 'User' (detailed below) instead
	-- TODO complete doc (available types, widgets ...)
	Prop = 
	{
		{Name="InstanceId", Type="String", WidgetStyle="StaticText", Category="Advanced", Visible=false },
	},	


	-- 'VIRTUAL' PROPERTIES (NOT IMPLEMENTED)
	-- Not really properties of this class, but 'shortcuts' to other, real properties
	-- The virtual properties are use by the property sheet to display properties than are jnot directly in the object,
	-- but that can be found in another place. (son object for example, or object that require an indirection)
	-- each virtual prop should provide a 'getPath' function which takes the InstanceId of the instance in which it is contained as its parameter
	-- It should return a couple : realOwnerInstanceId, realPropName (arrays not supported yet)
	-- an observer is placed on the real property to take its changes in account in the property sheet
	-- IMPORTANT: the getPath function will be called each frame to see if observers should be removed
	-- and placed on another target

	-- Example : indirection to fictive string property 'Toto' in the Scenario
	--VirtualProp = 
	--{
	--	{Name="InstanceId", Type="String", WidgetStyle="StaticText", Category="Advanced", Visible=true,
	--   getPath = function()
	--		return r2.Scenario.InstanceId, "Toto"
	--	 end,
	--	},
	--},

	---------------------------------
	-- NATIVE / SPECIAL PROPERTIES --
	---------------------------------

	-- They are implemented in C++ (thanks to the lua metatables)
	-- Parent		  : (R/O) :  The direct parent of this object. If parent object is in a table, returns the table
	-- ParentInstance : (R/O) : Next parent of this object with an InstanceId. In object is contained in a property that
	--					is a table, the object containing the table will be returned, not the table
	-- IndexInParent  : (R/O) : If parent is a table, then return index into it, -1 otherwise
	-- User			  : Read/Write lua table attached to the object. The 'User' field itself is R/O This is the place to store client side
	--                  edition variables.
	-- Size			  : (R/O) : If object is a table, returns its size, nil otherwise
	-- DisplayerUI    : (R/O) : for instances : returns reference to the ui displayer. May be nil. 
	--                  In the case where the field 'DisplayerUI' of this class definition id 'R2::CDisplayerLua', it would return
    --                  the displayer object created by a call to the function defined in 'DisplayerUIParams' (in this class definition)
	-- DisplayerVisual     : (R/O) : Same as DisplayerUI but for 'in scene' displayer
	-- DisplayerProperties : (R/O) : Same as DisplayerUI but for the properties displayer
	-- Selectable          : (R/W) : default is true. When false, the  object can't be selected in the scene. This flag is local to the instance (ancestor state not inherited)
	-- SelectableFromRoot  : (R/O) : True if this object and also its ancestor are selectable

	------------
	-- EVENTS --
	------------
	-- Events that are sent to the displayers, are also sent to instances that hold those displayers :
	-- By default they are not handled
	-- To handle, one shouldd redefine :
	-- function baseClass.onCreate(this)
	-- function baseClass.onErase(this)	
	-- etc ...
	-- see r2_ui_displayers.lua for details

-- GENERAL METHODS --
---------------------

-- Methods are defined in the class definition and are nevertheless callable on instances as follow :
-- instance:methodName(params ...)
-- In the class, the method would be defined as follow:
-- methodName = function(this, param1, param2 ...)  ... some code ... end
-- 'this' will be filled at runtime by a reference on the instance on which the method is called.
-- Method calling is possible thanks to the metamethod mechanism (in this case it is implemented in C++)
-- Calling a method is in fact equivalent to doing the following :
-- r2:getClass(instance).methodName(instance, param1, param2 ..)


---------------------------------------
-- TYPE / CLASS / PROPERTIES METHODS --
