A very important part of the text package is the View class.
As the name suggests it represents a view of the text model,
or a piece of the text model.
It is this class that is responsible for the look of the text component.
The view is not intended to be some completely new thing that one must
learn, but rather is much like a lightweight component.

By default, a view is very light.  It contains a reference to the parent
view from which it can fetch many things without holding state, and it
contains a reference to a portion of the model (Element).
A view does not
have to exactly represent an element in the model, that is simply a typical
and therefore convenient mapping.  A view can alternatively maintain a couple
of Position objects to maintain its location in the model (i.e. represent
a fragment of an element).  This is typically the result of formatting where
views have been broken down into pieces.  The convenience of a substantial
relationship to the element makes it easier to build factories to produce the
views, and makes it easier  to keep track of the view pieces as the model is
changed and the view must be changed to reflect the model.  Simple views
therefore represent an Element directly and complex views do not.

A view has the following responsibilities:

Participate in layout.

The view has a setSize method which is like
doLayout and setSize in Component combined.
The view has a preferenceChanged method which is
like invalidate in Component except that one can
invalidate just one axis
and the child requesting the change is identified.
A View expresses the size that it would like to be in terms of three
values, a minimum, a preferred, and a maximum span.  Layout in a view is
can be done independently upon each axis.  For a properly functioning View
implementation, the minimum span will be <= the preferred span which in turn
will be <= the maximum span.


The minimum set of methods for layout are:

getMinimumSpan 
getPreferredSpan 
getMaximumSpan 
getAlignment 
preferenceChanged 
setSize 
The setSize method should be prepared to be called a number of times
(i.e. It may be called even if the size didn't change).
The setSize method
is generally called to make sure the View layout is complete prior to trying
to perform an operation on it that requires an up-to-date layout.  A view's
size should always be set to a value within the minimum and maximum
span specified by that view.  Additionally, the view must always call the
preferenceChanged method on the parent if it has changed the
values for the
layout it would like, and expects the parent to honor.  The parent View is
not required to recognize a change until the preferenceChanged
has been sent.
This allows parent View implementations to cache the child requirements if
desired.  The calling sequence looks something like the following:



The exact calling sequence is up to the layout functionality of
the parent view (if the view has any children).  The view may collect
the preferences of the children prior to determining what it will give
each child, or it might iteratively update the children one at a time.

Render a portion of the model.

This is done in the paint method, which is pretty much like a component
paint method.  Views are expected to potentially populate a fairly large
tree.  A View has the following semantics for rendering:


The view gets its allocation from the parent at paint time, so it
must be prepared to redo layout if the allocated area is different from
what it is prepared to deal with.
The coordinate system is the same as the hosting Component
(i.e. the Component returned by the getContainer method). This means a child view lives in the same coordinate system as the parent view unless the parent has explicitly changed the coordinate system. To schedule itself to be repainted a view can call repaint on the hosting Component.
The default is to not clip the children.  It is more efficient
to allow a view to clip only if it really feels it needs clipping.
The Graphics object given is not initialized in any way.
A view should set any settings needed.
A View is inherently transparent.  While a view may render into its
entire allocation, typically a view does not.  Rendering is performed by
traversing down the tree of View implementations.
Each View is responsible
for rendering its children.  This behavior is depended upon for thread
safety.  While view implementations do not necessarily have to be implemented
with thread safety in mind, other view implementations that do make use of
concurrency can depend upon a tree traversal to guarantee thread safety.
The order of views relative to the model is up to the implementation.
Although child views will typically be arranged in the same order that they
occur in the model, they may be visually arranged in an entirely different
order.  View implementations may have Z-Order associated with them if the
children are overlapping.

The methods for rendering are:

paint 
Translate between the model and view coordinate systems.

Because the view objects are produced from a factory and therefore cannot
necessarily be counted upon to be in a particular pattern, one must be able
to perform translation to properly locate spatial representation of the model.
The methods for doing this are:

modelToView 
viewToModel 
getDocument 
getElement 
getStartOffset 
getEndOffset 
The layout must be valid prior to attempting to make the translation.
The translation is not valid, and must not be attempted while changes
are being broadcasted from the model via a DocumentEvent.

Respond to changes from the model.

If the overall view is represented by many pieces (which is the best situation
if one want to be able to change the view and write the least amount of new code),
it would be impractical to have a huge number of DocumentListeners.
If each
view listened to the model, only a few would actually be interested in the
changes broadcasted at any given time.   Since the model has no knowledge of
views, it has no way to filter the broadcast of change information.  The view
hierarchy itself is instead responsible for propagating the change information.
At any level in the view hierarchy, that view knows enough about its children to
best distribute the change information further.   Changes are therefore broadcasted
starting from the root of the view hierarchy.
The methods for doing this are:

insertUpdate 
removeUpdate 
changedUpdate

Replaces child views.  If there are no views to remove
this acts as an insert.  If there are no views to
add this acts as a remove.  Views being removed will
have the parent set to null, and the internal reference
to them removed so that they can be garbage collected.
This is implemented to do nothing, because by default
a view has no children.
Params:
offset – the starting index into the child views to insert
  the new views.  This should be a value >= 0 and <= getViewCount
length – the number of existing child views to remove
  This should be a value >= 0 and <= (getViewCount() - offset).

Tries to break this view on the given axis.  This is
called by views that try to do formatting of their
children.  For example, a view of a paragraph will
typically try to place its children into row and
views representing chunks of text can sometimes be
broken down into smaller pieces.

This is implemented to return the view itself, which
represents the default behavior on not being
breakable.  If the view does support breaking, the
starting offset of the view returned should be the
given offset, and the end offset should be less than
or equal to the end offset of the view being broken.
Params:
axis – may be either View.X_AXIS or

offset – the location in the document model
  that a broken fragment would occupy >= 0.  This

Determines how attractive a break opportunity in
this view is.  This can be used for determining which
view is the most attractive to call breakView
on in the process of formatting.  A view that represents
text that has whitespace in it might be more attractive
than a view that has no whitespace, for example.  The
higher the weight, the more attractive the break.  A
value equal to or lower than BadBreakWeight
should not be considered for a break.  A value greater
than or equal to ForcedBreakWeight should
be broken.

This is implemented to provide the default behavior
of returning BadBreakWeight unless the length
is greater than the length of the view in which case the
entire view represents the fragment.  Unless a view has
been written to support breaking behavior, it is not
attractive to try and break the view.  An example of
a view that does support breaking is LabelView.
An example of a view that uses break weight is
ParagraphView.
Params:
axis – may be either View.X_AXIS or
         View.Y_AXIS
pos – the potential location of the start of the
  broken view >= 0.  This may be useful for calculating tab
  positions
len – specifies the relative length from pos
