public abstract class FlowView

extends BoxView

A View that tries to flow it's children into some partially constrained space. This can be used to build things like paragraphs, pages, etc. The flow is made up of the following pieces of functionality.

• A logical set of child views, which as used as a layout pool from which a physical view is formed.
• A strategy for translating the logical view to a physical (flowed) view.
• Constraints for the strategy to work against.
• A physical structure, that represents the flow. The children of this view are where the pieces of of the logical views are placed to create the flow.
