public interface Subview

View components dispaly information to the user. A view obtains the data from the model. There can be multiple views of the model. Each View has an associated Controller. Controllers receive requests to handle the commands associated with user interaction with the view. A view can own other views. For example, all views are owned by the IdeMainWindow view.
