A manager view is the AWT component where the graphic objects of a manager are displayed.

To display graphic objects contained in a manager, you create at least one view, and often multiple views. The manager lets you connect as many views as you require to display graphic objects. The creation of a view is shown in Creating a manager and a view.

A geometric transformation can be associated with each view so that you can display any portion of the global space where your graphic objects are located with appropriate scales (zooming) and rotations for each view. See View transformation.
