//! Base elements required to build views.
//!
//! Views are the main building blocks of your UI.
//!
//! A view can delegate part or all of its responsabilities to child views,
//! forming a view tree. The root of this tree is a `StackView` handled
//! directly by the `Cursive` element.
//!
//! # Layout
//!
//! The layout phase is when the size and location of each view is computed.
//!
//! Each view is given an area of the screen by the `View::layout()` method.
//! With this, the view is free to plan its content, including calling
//! `View::layout()` on its own children.
//!
//! In order to determine how much space should be given each child, parents
//! can use `View::required_size()` on them.
//!
//!
//! ### Contracts
//!
//! When building new Views, you should respect these contracts:
//!
//! * By default, `View::layout()` should be called before any call to
//! `View::draw()` with the same available size. The only exceptions is
//! when both following conditions are met:
//! * The available size has not changed since the last call to
//! `View::layout()`
//! * `View::needs_relayout()` returns `false`
//!
//! In this case, it is safe to omit the call to `View::layout()`.
//!
//! * The value returned by `required_size` should be an actually viable size,
//! no matter what the request is. This means calling `View::layout()` with
//! a size returned by `required_size` is **never** an error.
