/**
  @ingroup Plugins

  @brief ViewWidget provides convenience functions to allow the user to build a view plugin that displays a QWidget as its main element.

  The ViewWidget class will build a QGraphicsView that sets a widget as the background of the whole panel.
  Sublassing ViewWidget means that you'll have to provide a centralWidget (see ViewWidget::setCentralWidget) that will take up the whole panel and be drawn in the background.
  You can use the addToScene() and removeFromScene() methods to edit the QGraphicsItems that will drawn over the widget.

  By default, when an interactor gets active on a ViewWidget, it gets installed on the centralWidget (see Interactor::install)

  @note When creating a ViewWidget, you should overload setupWidget instead of setupUi. If you still want to implement setupUi, you must call the ViewWidget::setupUi() method first.
