Scene, View, and Glyphs. The core graphics capability in the Genoviz SDK involves three core collaborating classes/interfaces. A Scene implements the SceneI interface and contains references to ViewI and GlyphI objects. In a typical application, there is usually only one ViewI per Scene, but Scenes can support multiple ViewI objects in order to present of alternative views on the same data. Scene objects also contain a reference to a single root GlyphI object, which in turn contains many children. When the View on a Scene changes, the Scene invokes the draw method of its associated GlyphI object, which then may recursively invokes the draw method of its child Glyphs.
