32 * LyXView - main LyX window
34 * This class represents the main LyX window and provides
35 * accessor functions to its content.
37 * The eventual intention is that LyX will support a number
38 * of containing LyXViews. Currently a lot of code still
39 * relies on there being a single top-level view.
41 * Additionally we would like to support multiple views
42 * in a single LyXView.
