Detailed Description

The QDPluginFactory class lets multiple plugins exist in a single file.

Use of the QDPluginFactory should be automatic. You should not use this direcly but instead use the QD_REGISTER_PLUGIN() macro which will append your plugin to the list available from the current file.

See qdautoplugin.cpp for the implementation used by the build system.

See also QDPlugin.
