542	\class BView
543	\ingroup interface
544	\ingroup libbe
545	\brief View base class.
546
547	A BView is a rectangular area within a window that responds to mouse clicks
548	and key presses, and acts as a surface for you to draw on.
549
550	Most Interface Kit classes, with the notable exception of BWindow inherit from
551	BView. Some of the time you might use a BView object as is, but most of the
552	time you subclass BView to do something unique.
553
554	To create a subclass of BView you generally override one or more of BView's
555	hook methods to respond to user events such as MouseDown() or FrameMoved().
556	By default a BView does nothing in its hook methods unless otherwise stated,
557	it's up to you to define what happens. To override the look of a BView you
558	should override the Draw() or DrawAfterChildren() methods. See the section on
559	Hook Methods below for more details.
560
561	When a BView object is first created it has no parent or child views. How you
562	add a view to the view hierarchy depends on if you want to use a standard
563	view with a defined frame rectangle or to use the Layout APIs to position and
564	size your view instead.
565
566	If you create a standard view you need to add it to a window or another view
567	using the AddChild() method, if you create a layout view you need to add your
568	view to a layout using BLayout::AddView() or by adding it to a layout builder.
569
570	Views are not very interesting until they, or one of their parents, are
571	attached to a window as many of BView's methods depend on a connection to the
572	App Server to do their work. In order to prevent multiple views from altering
573	the window simultaneously though locking is required. To perform an action
574	while the window is locked you issue the following code:
575
576\code
577if (Window()->LockLooper()) {
578	...
579	Window()->UnlockLooper()
580}
581\endcode
582
583	Whenever App Server calls a hook method it automatically locks the BWindow for
584	you.
585
586	Only one view attached to a window is able to receive keyboard events at a
587	time. The view that is able to receive keyboard events such as KeyDown() is
588	called the "focus view". MakeFocus() gives or removes focus from a view.
589	Call IsFocus() to determine whether or not the view is the window's current
590	focus view.
591
592	When a view has focus an indicator should be drawn to inform the user. Typically
593	the view is surrounded by a blue rectangle to indicate that it is the window's
594	focus view. The color can be queried using the keyboard_navigation_color()
595	function in InterfaceDefs.h
596
597	Each view has its own coordinate system with the origin point (0.0, 0.0)
598	located at the top left corner. You can convert a BPoint or BRect to or from
599	the view's coordinate system to the coordinate system of its parent, or
600	of the screen's coordinate system. See the section on Coordinate Conversion
601	Methods for more details.
602
603	The Application Server clips a BView to the region where it's permitted to
604	draw which is never larger than the view's bound rectangle. A view can never
605	draw outside its bounds nor can it draw outside of the bounds rectangle of any
606	parent view.
607
608	You may limit the clipping region further by passing a BRegion object to
609	ConstrainClippingRegion(). You can obtain the current clipping region by
610	calling GetClippingRegion().
611
612	Each view has a ViewColor() that fills the frame rectangle before the
613	view does any drawing of its own. The default view color is white, you may
614	change the view color by calling SetViewColor() or, as of Haiku R1,
615	SetViewUIColor(). A commonly used view color is \c B_PANEL_BACKGROUND_COLOR
616	which is a user-defined color used as the view color of most applications.
617	If you set the view color to \c B_TRANSPARENT_COLOR then the Application Server
618	won't erase the clipping region of the view before updating, this should only
619	be used if the view erases itself by drawing on every pixel in the clipping
620	region.
621
622	If you want to set the view color of a view to be the same as its parent you
623	need to set it within the AttachedToWindow() method of the view like so:
624
625\code
626SetViewColor(Parent()->ViewColor());

2705	The view must be attached to the window for these methods to work unless
2706	otherwise stated. Notes on specific methods are provided below:
2707
2708	DrawBitmap()
2709
2710	If the the image is bigger than the destination rectangle, it is scaled to fit.
2711
2712	The asynchronous versions pass the image to Application Server and return
2713	immediately.
2714
2715	This can be more efficient in some cases for example to draw several bitmaps
2716	at once and then call Sync() to tell Application Server to wait for them all
2717	to finish drawing rather than waiting for each one to draw.
2718
2719	DrawPicture()
2720
2721	The asynchronous versions pass the picture to Application Server and return
2722	immediately.
2723
2724	This can be more efficient in some cases for example to draw several pictures
2725	at once and then call Sync() to tell Application Server to wait for them all
2726	to finish drawing rather than waiting for each one to draw.
2727
2728	DrawPicture() doesn't alter the graphics state of the view nor do changes to
2729	the graphics state of the view alter the BPicture object. What the picture
2730	will look like depends on the graphics parameters that were in effect when the
2731	picture was recorded.
2732
2733	DrawString()
2734
2735	The \a string is drawn in the view's current font and is modified by
2736	the other parameters of the font such as its direction (left-to-right or
2737	right-to-left), rotation, spacing, shear, etc. The \a string is always drawn
2738	left to right even if its text direction is set to right-to-left mode.
2739
2740	Drawing a string is fastest in \c B_OP_COPY mode and anti-aliasing can
2741	produce undesirable effects when a string is draw in other modes, especially
2742	if the string is drawn in the same location repeatedly.
2743
2744	DrawString() doesn't erase before drawing.
