Detailed Description

Describes a plugin's parameter.

A plugin parameter consists of the following information:

• A name (std::string) which can be used to retrieve the value of the parameter when running the plugin.
• A type (std::string) which is the C++ typename of the parameter.
• A help string (std::string) which gives additional information about the parameter and its possible values.
• A default value which is mapped on the parameter if no value has been entered by the user.
• The mandatory flag (bool) which tells if the parameter is optional or not.
• A ParameterDirection (enum).
