-There are several kinds of plugins in Krita: CoreModules and Plugins. Core modules
-add functionality to Krita but do not directly add to the user interface (menus and
-toolbars). Plugins create actions.
-
-All plugins register themselves with the appropriate registry:
-
-KisToolRegistry -- tools like brush, crop etc. Tools are added to the menu and the tools
- box, but are special in that every view has a different instantiation of a tool for every
- pointer X11 presents to Krita (mouse, stylus, eraser, other styluses for fancy wacom
- tablets).
-
-KisColorSpaceRegistry -- color models like cmyk or rgb are core modules. These add the capability
- to load and save and edit images in a particular color model and bit depth.
-
-KisFilterRegistry -- Filters are a little mode complicated in that these are operations that
- should be available from many places in the application -- i.e, some tools build on
- the availablity of filters, and filters can be building blocks in scripts -- but are
- also directly available from the filter menu.
-
-KisPaintOpRegistry -- Paintops are plugins that define the way tools actually make
- marks on the canvas. Paintops have no independent life in the gui but can be shown
- in the toolbox.
-
-KisPluginRegistry -- Plugins that do not fall into any of the previous categories. Examples
- are the GUI for scaling/resizing an image, select-by-colour etc.
-
-
-Krita automatically adds filters to the items menu and tools to the tools menu; paintops
-are managed in the paintop toolbox and the tool plugins add themselves to the tools toolbar.
-This is done without referring to the XML gui buider. General plugins, like select-by-colour,
-that are often gui wrappers around core functionality, are loaded using the ordinary
-KDE plugin framework.
