	/// View is the base class for all views on the screen and represents a visible element that can render itself and contains zero or more nested views.
	/// </summary>
	/// <remarks>
	/// <para>
	///    The View defines the base functionality for user interface elements in Terminal.Gui.  Views
	///    can contain one or more subviews, can respond to user input and render themselves on the screen.
	/// </para>
	/// <para>
	///    Views supports two layout styles: Absolute or Computed. The choice as to which layout style is used by the View 
	///    is determined when the View is initizlied. To create a View using Absolute layout, call a constructor that takes a
	///    Rect parameter to specify the absolute position and size (the <c>View.<see cref="Frame "/></c>)/. To create a View 
	///    using Computed layout use a constructor that does not take a Rect parametr and set the X, Y, Width and Height 
	///    properties on the view. Both approaches use coordinates that are relative to the container they are being added to. 
	/// </para>
	/// <para>
	///    To switch between Absolute and Computed layout, use the <see cref="LayoutStyle"/> property. 
	/// </para>
	/// <para>
	///    Computed layout is more flexible and supports dynamic console apps where controls adjust layout
	///    as the terminal resizes or other Views change size or position. The X, Y, Width and Height 
	///    properties are Dim and Pos objects that dynamically update the position of a view.
	///    The X and Y properties are of type <see cref="Pos"/>
	///    and you can use either absolute positions, percentages or anchor
	///    points.   The Width and Height properties are of type
	///    <see cref="Dim"/> and can use absolute position,
	///    percentages and anchors.  These are useful as they will take
	///    care of repositioning views when view's frames are resized or
	///    if the terminal size changes.
	/// </para>
	/// <para>
	///    Absolute layout requires specifying coordiantes and sizes of Views explicitly, and the
	///    View will typcialy stay in a fixed position and size. To change the position and size use the
	///    <see cref="Frame"/> property.
	/// </para>
	/// <para>
	///    Subviews (child views) can be added to a View by calling the <see cref="Add(View)"/> method.   
	///    The container of a View can be accessed with the <see cref="SuperView"/> property.
	/// </para>
	/// <para>
	///    To flag a region of the View's <see cref="Bounds"/> to be redrawn call <see cref="SetNeedsDisplay(Rect)"/>. To flag the entire view
	///    for redraw call <see cref="SetNeedsDisplay()"/>.
	/// </para>
	/// <para>
	///    Views have a <see cref="ColorScheme"/> property that defines the default colors that subviews
	///    should use for rendering.   This ensures that the views fit in the context where
	///    they are being used, and allows for themes to be plugged in.   For example, the
	///    default colors for windows and toplevels uses a blue background, while it uses
	///    a white background for dialog boxes and a red background for errors.
	/// </para>
	/// <para>
	///    Subclasses should not rely on <see cref="ColorScheme"/> being
	///    set at construction time. If a <see cref="ColorScheme"/> is not set on a view, the view will inherit the
	///    value from its <see cref="SuperView"/> and the value might only be valid once a view has been
	///    added to a SuperView. 
	/// </para>
	/// <para>
	///    By using  <see cref="ColorScheme"/> applications will work both
	///    in color as well as black and white displays.
	/// </para>
	/// <para>
	///    Views that are focusable should implement the <see cref="PositionCursor"/> to make sure that
	///    the cursor is placed in a location that makes sense.  Unix terminals do not have
	///    a way of hiding the cursor, so it can be distracting to have the cursor left at
	///    the last focused view.   So views should make sure that they place the cursor
	///    in a visually sensible place.
	/// </para>
	/// <para>
	///    The <see cref="LayoutSubviews"/> method is invoked when the size or layout of a view has
	///    changed.   The default processing system will keep the size and dimensions
	///    for views that use the <see cref="LayoutStyle.Absolute"/>, and will recompute the
	///    frames for the vies that use <see cref="LayoutStyle.Computed"/>.
