pure virtual

Through this call the core is able to create a new plugin instance.

Returns

The new plugin instance.

Implemented in PropertiesViewFactory, OutlineViewFactory, NCLTextualViewPluginFactory, DebugConsoleFactory, QnstComposerPluginFactory, and QnlyComposerPluginFactory.

virtual void composer::extension::IPluginFactory::releasePluginInstance ( IPlugin *  )

pure virtual

When an Project is closed by the user and it is no longer necessary, Composer Core will use this call to release the plugin instance.

When an Project is closed by the user and it is no longer necessary, Composer Core will use this call to release the plugin instance.that was associated with this Project. By default, the plugin developer should free all memory it is using. But, this is he/she choice, once his implementation can also share some data among all the plugins instances.

Parameters

The	plugin instance.

Implemented in PropertiesViewFactory, OutlineViewFactory, NCLTextualViewPluginFactory, DebugConsoleFactory, QnstComposerPluginFactory, and QnlyComposerPluginFactory.
