For other uses, see View (disambiguation).A view is what can be seen in a range of vision, as described in the Seeing section of The senses. View may also be used as a synonym of point of view in the first sense. View may also be used figuratively or with special significance—for example, to imply a scenic outlook or special vantage point:
The barrier Rhine hath flashed, through battle-smoke,
On men who gaze heart-smitten by the view,
As if all Germany had felt the shock!
- from The Germans on the Heights of Hochheim (1816) by William Wordsworth
In satellite communications, the view is the quality or degree of visibility of a satellite to a ground station; i.e., the degree to which the satellite is sufficiently above the horizon and clear of obstructions so that it is within the line-of-sight of an Earth terminal. See also mutual view. Sources: Federal Standard 1037C and MIL-STD-188
View was also the name of a word processor program for the BBC Micro home computer of the 1980s.
