What is a View?

Your initial efforts when you write a Views program will be focused on creating and combining views where people can display and possibly interact with your program.

A view is a visual place holder—a rectangular area on your screen—where elements of your Views application are displayed.

A View

Each view is distinguished by its:

• location (x,y coordinates that you define),

• size (height and width that you define),

• visibility (a view might be present but not visible).

You create visible elements of your Views application by combining views and their contents.
