Write the class ViewSettings thing first
T1 -> View22
T4 -> View3 
etc.

Where view is interface that has this getTypes() method and special thing 
for a type that can render everything.

Then we need to have the cursor and graph and give them to 
ConnectionView or Structure(ral?)View. Struct view starts rendering 
ring zero. It asks for spatial view from view settings acording to cursor.

So, an interface for view settings could be like this:
   SpatialView getView(Cursor c);

Then here goes a question mark '?' because who knows the right size for 
this view? Sizer or something?

But anyway, struct view asks spatial view to render. Then ring++;
Struct view queries all connection points from vob scene and start asking 
from view settings for suitable spatial view. Struct view needs to ask 
from sizer for coordinate system and parameters to place the ring one 
spatial views. Then struct view renders -- *tadaa* -- connections between 
ring -1 connection point and ring connection point.

As a side note, we might need to split the render method to
-render spatial bg
   - render connection
      - render spatial fg
We will see..

Struct view keeps rendering rings until max ring is reached.
