ABSTRACT:
A view system is provided for each application program in a computer system in order to display application-generated information on a display. To increase graphic speed, the view system transfers graphic information directly into the screen buffer into a screen buffer area defined by a visible area definition. The view system provides support for spatially laying out views. The support includes a class of objects that contain specific layout information. The layout information automatically provides horizontal or vertical orientation, size and constraints. The views are arranged in a hierarchy and the layout objects are inserted into the hierarchy at a level directly above the levels of the views to which the layout objects relate.
