Class BirdViewController

java.lang.Object
org.netbeans.api.visual.widget.BirdViewController
public final class BirdViewController extends Object
This class controls a bird view created for a specific scene. The bird is tracking mouse-cursor over the main scene view. You can specify a separate zoom-factor and you can enable and disable it by calling show and hide methods.

When a bird view is enabled then it consumes all events of a main scene view therefore you cannot do anything except watch the scene with bird view.
