View and Tool Controllers¶

DrawKit’s controllers sit between a drawing and its views. The controllers are owned by the drawing; the views are owned by their superviews and ultimately their windows. In DrawKit, there is one controller per view.

The basic controller, DKViewController, provides basic support for forwarding input events from the view to the active layer within the drawing, and for responding to requests from the drawing to update the view. DKToolController, a subclass of DKViewController, adds the concept of a settable tool, allowing the user to interactively create, select and edit objects.
