 *
 * OpenFlipper provides a flexible plugin interface. Plugins can implement various interfaces.
 * Each interface provides special signals/slots or functions to communicate with the core or
 * to react on special events. The most important interface is the BaseInterface. This Interface
 * provides the core functionality for the plugin. E.g. loading the plugin, specifying its name
 * and basic communication regrading object changes or view updates ( See BaseInterface for further details).\n
 * Additional functionality is provided by the other interfaces. For user interaction one typically uses the
 * MouseInterface or KeyInterface which will provide events based on mouse or keyboard interaction.\n
 * The interface of OpenFlipper can also be used by plugins. The MenubarInterface provides functions to
 * add additional icons to the menubar. Using the ToolboxInterface one can add widgets to the toolbox on
 * the right of the OpenFlipper screen.
