The default view in gvSIG (the one everyone is used to see) basically contains a MapControl object (where the layers are drawn), a MapOverview object (the locator which inherits from MapControl) and a table of contents (ToC) where the user can see the available layers, their drawing order, etc.

In the 3D pilot there it has been created a new type of view (3D) and in doing so it has been implemented a mechanism so different types of vista can be defined.
