# Editor.MapEditor.MapView

MapViews are owned by the MapViewMgr. They display the MapViewMgr's mapdoc.
            
The MapView provides either a 2d or 3d view of the provided map doc. The rendering mode
may be swapped between various 2d and 3d modes dynamically. In addition to basic display 
functionality the view also provides movement implementation for moving a camera within a 3d view
or panning a 2d view.
