Accessing View from ViewController

I created a ViewController in StoryBoard and linked it with the GamePanelViewController class. Furthermore I linked the view of the ViewController with a second class called GamePanel which extends of UIView.

How can I access to the view which is created automatically by StoryBoard to perform some methods I implemented to the GamePanel class which is linked to the view by identity inspector?

GamePanel.h:

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "Plattform.h"

@interface GamePanel : UIView

@property (strong, nonatomic) NSMutableArray *plattforms;

- (void)initGamePanel;
- (void)drawPlattforms:(CGContextRef)gc;

@end

GamePanel.m:

#import "GamePanel.h"

@implementation GamePanel

@synthesize plattforms;

- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
    self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
    if (self) {

    }
    return self;
}

- (void)initGamePanel{
   self.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];

    self.plattforms = [NSMutableArray new];
    // Initialization code
    for(int i = 0;i<8;i++){
        for(int j = 0;j<6;j++){
            [self.plattforms addObject:[[Plattform alloc] initWithXCord:(14+j*37) andYCoord:(58+14+i*37)]];
            NSLog(@"Init");
        }
    }
}

If you have actually linked the viewController's view property with your custom view, then you can simply use self.view within you viewController to access it.

If you have just dragged a UIView onto your viewController in your storyboard (and not linked it to the viewController's view property), you will need to create an IBOutlet for it (control-drag from the view to your interface, and give it a name), then you can reference it with the name you give it e.g. self.myView.
