20 * @short_description: Plugin support
22 * A plugin in grits is a GObject which implements the GritsPlugin interface.
23 * Additionally, each plugin is compiled to a separate shared object and loaded
24 * conditionally at runtime when the plugin is enabled. Each such shared object
25 * should define a GritsPluginConstructor() function named
26 * grits_plugin_NAME_new which will be called when loading the plugin.
28 * Almost all grits functionality is provided by a set of plugins. Each plugin
29 * can how however much it likes. The interface between plugins and the rest of
30 * grits is intentionally very thin. Since grits is the library, plugins must
31 * manually do everything. For instance, to draw something in the world, the
32 * plugin must add an object to the viewer. Likewise, plugins need to
33 * register callbacks on the viewer in order to receive updates, very little
34 * happens automagically.
36 * That being said, one thing that plugins do do automagically, is provide a
37 * configuration area. Since the plugin doesn't know what application is is
38 * being loaded form, it is better for the application to ask the plugin for
39 * it's confirmation area, not the other way around.
