[kepler-dev] getting a tableau

[Christopher Brooks]

Hi Chad,
The Configuration class comment says:

  <p>To access the configuration from a random place, if you have a
  NamedObj <code>foo</code>, then you can call:
  <pre>
  Effigy effigy = Configuration.findEffigy(foo.toplevel());
  Configuration configuration = effigy.toplevel();
  </pre>

Once you have the Effigy, you could call Effigy.closeTableau().

Of course, for this to work, you would have to have called
Configuration.openModel() so that the model is registered
in the ModelDirectory of the Configuration.  If you are not
calling openModel() to open files, then I'm not sure how
you would use the Configuration.
