/**
  @ingroup Plugins
  @brief Interactor provides a way to handle user inputs over a view.
  Basically, The interactor class is an overlay to the Qt's event filtering mechanism. It adds several features like the ability to define priorities, custom cursors, etc

  When an interactor is constructed, the following methods are called in this order:
  @li The constructor. This method should almost be a no-op. Interactors may be instantiated by the plugin manager system and doing unneeded operations in the constructor may lead to poor performances when the application loads up.
  @li isCompatible. When creating a View, the application will check for all interactors to see if they could be installed on it. This is done using the isCompatible method.
  @li construct. Initialize the interactor. Since the constructor should be a no-op, initialization code should be put here.
  @li setView. Defines the view this interactor is bound to. The Interactor may keep a reference to the view object to perform specific operations on user inputs.

  Methods listed above are only called once. Once the interactor is initialized, it may be installed/removed several times on different QObjects. It will then repond to user inputs via the eventFilter method
  @see QObject::eventFilter()
