View

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractView, TextView
```
public interface View
```
View is an interface that captures the notion of a view on a document in a graphical application. Typically, there are one or more views on a particular document, or even on different parts of the document (such as discrete pages), although this is not necessarily so. Each application will typically create one or more implementations of this interface for the types of documents it can work with.
