\begin{Description}\relax
plotView is a virtual class to represent a view that is a plot.  Any
particular types of plots can inherit from this class.  For instance,
sPlotView, is a class that inherits from plotView and represents a
scatterplot view.
\end{Description}
\begin{Section}{Objects from the Class}
A virtual Class: No objects may be created
from it.
\end{Section}
\begin{Section}{Slots}
\describe{
\item[\code{plotDevice}:] the plot device number 
\item[\code{plotPar}:] the parameter list for the plot, see par() 
\item[\code{drArea}:] an object of class \code{"GtkDrawingArea"} 
\item[\code{dataName}:] a character string describing what data are shown
in the view 
\item[\code{win}:] an object of class \code{"GtkWindow"} that holds the
view  
\item[\code{winNum}:] a number that tells what number view this is (for
example, the first view created will have winNum=1) 
}
\end{Section}
\begin{Section}{Extends}
Class \code{"genView"}, directly.
\end{Section}
\begin{Section}{Methods}
\describe{
\item[drArea\textless{}-] Sets the \code{drArea} slot 
\item[drArea] Returns the \code{drArea} slot 
\item[plotDevice\textless{}-] Sets the \code{plotDevice} slot 
\item[plotDevice] Returns the \code{plotDevice} slot 
\item[plotPar\textless{}-] Sets the \code{plotPar} slot 
\item[plotPar] Returns the \code{plotPar} slot 
}
Also, all classes that inherit from plotView will have clickEvent and
motionEvent methods.  The clickEvent method will be called whenever a user
clicks on the plot and the motionEvent method will be called whenever a user
moves the cursor over the plot.  These methods will be defined in packages
that use this package, such as iSPlot and iSNetwork.  Note that the clickEvent
method will also be defined for the spreadView class and this will correspond
to a user selecting a row on the spreadsheet.
