I have an app in which I have a lot of elements, which may have
many different geometrical shapes, but are subclassed from a general  
element object which is a subclass of View.  As I build them, they are  
stored in a list.

I want them to be drawn in a View (myView) in myWindow.  Each element   
subclass has a drawSelf method and each instance has it, of course.

When my controller does a [myView display], the background appears, but  
does each element have to be individually sent a [myElement drawSelf]?
It then seems that they each have to be a subView of the original View.

Somehow it should be simpler than this, so I think I'm missing  
something.
