Accessing View from ViewController - objective-c

Question

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.
