569	\class BView
570	\ingroup interface
571	\ingroup libbe
572	\brief View base class.
573
574	A BView is a rectangular area within a window that responds to mouse clicks
575	and key presses, and acts as a surface for you to draw on.
576
577	Most Interface Kit classes, with the notable exception of BWindow inherit from
578	BView. Some of the time you might use a BView object as is, but most of the
579	time you subclass BView to do something unique.
580
581	To create a subclass of BView you generally override one or more of BView's
582	hook methods to respond to user events such as MouseDown() or FrameMoved().
583	By default a BView does nothing in its hook methods unless otherwise stated,
584	it's up to you to define what happens. To override the look of a BView you
585	should override the Draw() or DrawAfterChildren() methods. See the section on
586	Hook Methods below for more details.
587
588	When a BView object is first created it has no parent or child views. How you
589	add a view to the view hierarchy depends on if you want to use a standard
590	view with a defined frame rectangle or to use the Layout APIs to position and
591	size your view instead.
592
593	If you create a standard view you need to add it to a window or another view
594	using the AddChild() method, if you create a layout view you need to add your
595	view to a layout using BLayout::AddView() or by adding it to a layout builder.
596
597	Views are not very interesting until they, or one of their parents, are
598	attached to a window as many of BView's methods depend on a connection to the
599	App Server to do their work. In order to prevent multiple views from altering
600	the window simultaneously though locking is required. To perform an action
601	while the window is locked you issue the following code:
602
603\code
604if (Window()->LockLooper()) {
605	...
606	Window()->UnlockLooper()
607}
608\endcode
609
610	Whenever App Server calls a hook method it automatically locks the BWindow for
611	you.
612
613	Only one view attached to a window is able to receive keyboard events at a
614	time. The view that is able to receive keyboard events such as KeyDown() is
615	called the "focus view". MakeFocus() gives or removes focus from a view.
616	Call IsFocus() to determine whether or not the view is the window's current
617	focus view.
618
619	When a view has focus an indicator should be drawn to inform the user. Typically
620	the view is surrounded by a blue rectangle to indicate that it is the window's
621	focus view. The color can be queried using the keyboard_navigation_color()
622	function in InterfaceDefs.h
623
624	Each view has its own coordinate system with the origin point (0.0, 0.0)
625	located at the top left corner. You can convert a BPoint or BRect to or from
626	the view's coordinate system to the coordinate system of its parent, or
627	of the screen's coordinate system. See the section on Coordinate Conversion
628	Methods for more details.
629
630	The Application Server clips a BView to the region where it's permitted to
631	draw which is never larger than the view's bound rectangle. A view can never
632	draw outside its bounds nor can it draw outside of the bounds rectangle of any
633	parent view.
634
635	You may limit the clipping region further by passing a BRegion object to
636	ConstrainClippingRegion(). You can obtain the current clipping region by
637	calling GetClippingRegion().
638
639	Each view has a ViewColor() that fills the frame rectangle before the
640	view does any drawing of its own. The default view color is white, you may
641	change the view color by calling SetViewColor() or, as of Haiku R1,
642	SetViewUIColor(). A commonly used view color is \c B_PANEL_BACKGROUND_COLOR
643	which is a user-defined color used as the view color of most applications.
644	If you set the view color to \c B_TRANSPARENT_COLOR then the Application Server
645	won't erase the clipping region of the view before updating, this should only
646	be used if the view erases itself by drawing on every pixel in the clipping
647	region.
648
649	If you want to set the view color of a view to be the same as its parent you
650	need to set it within the AttachedToWindow() method of the view like so:
651
652\code
653SetViewColor(Parent()->ViewColor());

2729	The view must be attached to the window for these methods to work unless
2730	otherwise stated. Notes on specific methods are provided below:
2731
2732	DrawBitmap()
2733	DrawTiledBitmap()
2734
2735	DrawBitmap() scales the image to fit if the image has different size than
2736	the destination rectangle.
2737
2738	DrawTiledBitmap() fills the destination rectangle with copies of the source
2739	image, without changing its size.
2740
2741	The asynchronous versions pass the image to Application Server and return
2742	immediately.
2743
2744	This can be more efficient in some cases for example to draw several bitmaps
2745	at once and then call Sync() to tell Application Server to wait for them all
2746	to finish drawing rather than waiting for each one to draw.
2747
2748	DrawPicture()
2749
2750	The asynchronous versions pass the picture to Application Server and return
2751	immediately.
2752
2753	This can be more efficient in some cases for example to draw several pictures
2754	at once and then call Sync() to tell Application Server to wait for them all
2755	to finish drawing rather than waiting for each one to draw.
2756
2757	DrawPicture() doesn't alter the graphics state of the view nor do changes to
2758	the graphics state of the view alter the BPicture object. What the picture
2759	will look like depends on the graphics parameters that were in effect when the
2760	picture was recorded.
2761
2762	DrawString()
2763
2764	The \a string is drawn in the view's current font and is modified by
2765	the other parameters of the font such as its direction (left-to-right or
2766	right-to-left), rotation, spacing, shear, etc. The \a string is always drawn
2767	left to right even if its text direction is set to right-to-left mode.
2768
2769	Drawing a string is fastest in \c B_OP_COPY mode and anti-aliasing can
2770	produce undesirable effects when a string is draw in other modes, especially
2771	if the string is drawn in the same location repeatedly.
2772
2773	DrawString() doesn't erase before drawing.
