/**
 * @ingroup Plugins
 * @brief A Perspective is a Tulip plugin that completely re-defines the user interface.
 *
 * A Perspective aims at using the multiple features available in Tulip to create a complete,
 * coherent workflow dedicated to a particular use-case.
 * The main perspective is called "Tulip". This perspective unveils all the Tulip features and aims
 * at being a protyping and researching platform.
 *
 * It is the Perspective's responsibility to offer the possibility to display graphs, run
 * plugins, etc. A lot of helper classes can be found into the tulip-gui API like pre-made widgets,
 * Qt models, etc.
 *
 * Perspective's data is stored into a TulipProject. A TulipProject is an archive capable of
 * containing heterogeneous data (like multiple graphs, textures, extra files, etc). When a
 * TulipProject gets saved by a perspective, it is linked to it in its meta-information.
 * Creating a Perspective primarily into implementing the start() method that builds the GUI. This
 * method will be called by the overleying system when a new perspective is launched. The rest of
 * the logic implementation is left to the developer.
