Extended Definition:
1. This command is useful when the user has two views one which is larger than the other. If the user would like to see the contents of the smaller view enlarged without disturbing the large viewport contents, attributes, etc. They can be temporarily swapped and nothing is lost. To put things back as they where just perform a SWAP operation on the same two views.
An alternative to this is the "view fill_screen" command. If no interaction is required in the enlarged view then fill_screen is the right choice.
If used, this command has one required parameter, VIEW_NAME. This command requires that two values (view_names) must be provided, separated by a comma (no defaults are allowed). The view names can be entered by the keyboard or picked from the screen. If picked from the screen, a comma must still be entered between the picks from the keyboard. Then, the command is terminated with a carriage return.
2. Each view created has a name associated with it.The view_name parameter is used to identify a view for a particular operation. In most cases, view_name=all is also a valid entry. The all option indicates "all displayed views". There are eight standard views available when the Adams View is started. These views are: front, top, right, iso, bottom, left, and back. The first four of these standard views are displayed by default when Adams View is started.
The user may create new views using the 'VIEW MANAGEMENT CREATE' command, and save/restore their attributes.
If the VIEW_NAME parameter is used, the desired view can be identified by picking in the window or entering the name from the keyboard. Typing the name is the only way to identify a stored view that is not displayed.
