Interface DFView

All Superinterfaces:

DFItem, DFUserItem, PropertiesEditingConfigurable

public interface DFView
extends DFUserItem

Interface representing view (visual window/component) presenting data of DFDataTree. DFView is actually not visual object, but model only - it is responsible for persistence of UI settings.

The actual window (Swing component) is only based on DFView. Implementation of these visual components is out of scope of DIF module. It must be solved in higher layer in the architecture.
