## \brief A trait for class domview for managing components.
#
# This class is responsible for manage components and timelines.  It
# is also responsible for switching component and timeline.  Switching
# to a component is actually switching to a timeline in another
# component.  When switch to a timeline, it actuall change
# domview._scense_node, parent of all scene nodes of a component, and
# domview._layers_parent, parent of all layer group of a component.
# domview relys on these two variables to operate on right component
# and timeline.  (It should be changed to get more hint with
# meaningful names.)
#
# FIXME: The root node is always the 'main' component.  It is a
# special case with slightly different in structure.  It should be
# removed and normalized to normal components.
