David Edmundson 8bf612f9af Put QML Components at the top
They're more useful than the C++ lib which will be used by only shell
writers. The QML bits will be used by all applet writers.

Plasma Framework

The plasma framework provides the foundations that can be used to build a primary user interface, from graphical to logical components.

Introduction

The plasma framework provides the following:

  • QML components
  • A C++ library: libplasma
  • Script engines

QML components

org.kde.plasma.core

Bindings for libplasma functionality, such as DataEngine and FrameSvg, see @ref core.

org.kde.plasma.components

Graphical components for common items such as buttons, lineedits, tabbars and so on. Compatible subset of the MeeGo components used on the N9, see @ref plasmacomponents.

org.kde.plasma.extras

Extra graphical components that extend org.kde.plasma.components but are not in the standard api, see @ref plasmaextracomponents.

org.kde.plasma.plasmoid

Attached properties for manipulating the current applet or containment, see @ref libplasmaquick

libplasma

This C++ library provides:

  • rendering of SVG themes
  • loading of files from a certain filesystem structure: packages
  • data access through data engines
  • loading of the plugin structure of the workspace: containments and applets

See @ref libplasma.

Script engines

Provides support to create applets or containments in various scripting languages.
