public interface IlpViewInteractor
extends IlpInteractor

View interactors manage interactions with a graphic view. They are attached to one particular controller at a time. When an event occurs, the view interactor first determines whether a graphic object is located at the event position. If so, and if the graphic object has an object interactor, the event is dispatched to the object interactor.
Otherwise, the view interactor attempts to handle the event. To do so, it translates atomic input events into Swing action invocations in a given context, recognizing higher-level gestures when applicable, and invoking the associated Swing actions.

A view interactor is not stateless but nevertheless it uses an IlpDefaultViewInteractionContext which stores information that the interactor needs.
