<table class="table" style="margin:0;">

      </td>
    </tr>
    
  </tbody>
</table>









<div id="getIsolate"></div>
<h2>
  <code>getIsolate(scope)</code>

</h2>

Given an scope, retrieves the corresponding isolate.



<table class="table" style="margin:0;">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Param</th>
      <th>Type</th>
      <th>Details</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    
    <tr>
      <td>
        scope
        
        
      </td>
      <td>
        
  <code>Object</code>
      </td>
      <td>
        
        
      </td>
    </tr>
    
  </tbody>
</table>






* Returns: 
  <code>Object</code> The requested isolate




<div id="find"></div>
<h2>
  <code>find(selector)</code>

</h2>

given a selector, retrieves
the isolate on a template-declared scene graph element.  This is useful
for manipulating Famo.us objects directly after they've been declared in the DOM.
As in normal Angular, this DOM look-up should be performed in the postLink function
of a directive.



<table class="table" style="margin:0;">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Param</th>
      <th>Type</th>
      <th>Details</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    
    <tr>
      <td>
        selector
        
        
      </td>
      <td>
        
  <code>String</code>
      </td>
      <td>
        <p>the selector for the elements to look up</p>

        
      </td>
    </tr>
    
  </tbody>
</table>






* Returns: 
  <code>Array</code> an array of the isolate objects of the selected elements.
