                                                             GogViewAllocation const *bbox);

`view` : |

### gog_view_queue_resize ()

    void                gog_view_queue_resize               (GogView *view);

Flags a view to have its size renegotiated; should be called when a model for some reason has a new size request. For example, when you change the size of a legend.

`view` : | a GogView

### gog_view_padding_request ()

### gog_view_size_request ()

    void                gog_view_size_request               (GogView *view,

When called `available` holds the available space and `requisition` is populated with the desired size based on that input and other elements of the view or its model's state (eg the position).

Remember that the size request is not necessarily the size a view will actually be allocated.

`view` : | a GogView
`available` : | available space.
`requisition` : | a GogViewRequisition.

Assign a size and position to a GogView. Primarilly used by containers.

`view` : | a GogView
`allocation` : | position and size to be allocated to `view`

### gog_view_update_sizes ()

    gboolean            gog_view_update_sizes               (GogView *view);

Find the GogView contained in `container` that corresponds to `model`.

`container` : | GogView
`target_model` : | GogObject
Returns : | NULL on error or if `target_model` has no view.

### gog_view_get_toolkit ()

    GSListconst	*       gog_view_get_toolkit                (GogView *view);

`view` : | GogView
Returns : | toolkit associated with given view.

### gog_view_render_toolkit ()

    void                gog_view_render_toolkit             (GogView *view);

### gog_view_get_view_at_point ()

    GogView*            gog_view_get_view_at_point          (GogView *view,

Gets view under cursor, searching recursively from `view`. Corresponding object is stored in `obj`. This object may or may not be `view->model` of pointed view. This function also stores tool under cursor, for the pointed view.

`view` : | GogView
`x` : | cursor x position
`y` : | cursor y position
`obj` : | pointed object
`tool` : | pointed tool
Returns : | the GogView at x,y position

### gog_view_size_child_request ()

    void                gog_view_size_child_request         (GogView *view,

`view` : | a GogView
`available` : | the amount of space available in total
`req` : | additionnal requisition
`min_req` : | minimum size for displaying all children
