2.1 原文

  A view hierarchy defines the relationships of views in a window to each other. You can think of a view hierarchy as aninverted tree structure with the window being the top node of the tree. Under it come viewsstructurally specified by parent-child relationships. From a visualperspective, the essential fact of a view hierarchy isenclosure: one view contains one or more other views, and the window contains them all.

  The view hierarchy is a major part of the responder chain, and it is something that the application frameworks use todetermine the layering order of views when theyrender the content of a window in a drawing pass. The view hierarchy is also the governing concept behind viewcomposition: You constructcompound views by adding subviews to a superview. Finally, the view hierarchy is acritical factor in the multiple coordinate systems found in a window.



Three View Properties Define Relationships in the Hierarchy

  A view is related to other views through two properties, and these relationships determine the form of the hierarchy:

（1）superview — The view above a given view in the hierarchy; this is the view thatencloses it.
  All views except the topmost view must have a superview.

（2）subviews — The views below a given view in the hierarchy; these are the views that it encloses.
A view may have any number of subviews, or it may have none.



  Views also include another property that identifies their window.

In iOS, a Window is a View

  In OS X a window has a single “content view,” a background view from which, structurally, all other views in the hierarchydescend. However, in iOS applications, a window is a view (UIWindow inherits from UIView), and so it acts as its own content view.
