public interface ExternalView

Abstract representation of code that presents an external view of the browser to client code.

This interface is used to present hooks from the internals of a VRML browser to code that implements the EAI or SAI external interface. It allows synchronisation and management to go back and forth and allow easy synchronisation of updates to avoid multi-threading issues.
