BView Overview

The BView class is one of the largest in the BeOS class library. Because of this, the BView documentation is split across a number of files:

• BView Introduction is a brief intro to the BView class.

• BView General Functions describes those functions that you use no matter what you're doing with your BView object.

• BView Drawing Related Functions : Anything related to drawing subdivided into Primitive Drawing Funktions (to draw lines, circles, polygons, etc.) and Other Drawing Functions (such as picture recording, and bitmap functions).

• BView Graphics State Functions modify or report on the "graphics state," a set of variables (colors, pen position, scaling, etc.) that control how drawing takes place in the BView.

• BView Hook Functions gives a list of the BView functions that can be implemented in a subclass.

• BView View Hierarchy Functions relate to the nested tree of views associated with a window.

• BView Input Related Functions monitor and process input activity.

• Scriting And Archival describes the scripting suites and properties, and archived fields supported by BView.
