User Interface Tools¶

Often it is convenient for an application to have tools that do not modify the drawing itself but merely control aspects of the user interface. An obvious example is a zoom tool, which merely changes the scale (and possible the scroll position) of the view, it does not affect the content. DrawKit supports this type of tool as well - in fact DKZoomTool already supplies a tool for zooming the view. There is no compelling reason that a tool needs to work with target objects that are supplied by the tool controller - it is free to simply ignore that and do something else, which is how the zoom tool works.
