29/** The drawing framework is responsible for managing the resources used by
30    the UI of the drawing applications.
31    <p>The framework is implemented by a set of sub controllers that are
32    responsible for its different resources: <type
33    scope="com::sun::star::drawing::framework">XModuleController</type>,
34    <type scope="com::sun::star::drawing::framework">XPaneController</type>,
35    <type scope="com::sun::star::drawing::framework">XViewController</type>,
36    <type scope="com::sun::star::drawing::framework">XToolbarController</type>,
37    <type scope="com::sun::star::drawing::framework">XCommandController</type>.
38    The set of active resources is represented by the <type
39    scope="com::sun::star::drawing::framework">XConfiguration</type>.</p>
40    <p>The <type
41    scope="com::sun::star::drawing::framework">XControllerManager</type>
42    interface provides access to the sub controllers.  It typically is
43    implemented by the same class that implements the <type
44    scope="com::sun::star::frame">XController</type> interface.</p>
45    <p>The
46    configuration is managed by the <type
47    scope="com::sun::star::drawing::framework">XConfigurationController</type>.
48    It coordinates changes to the configuration made by the other sub
49    controllers so that
50    <ul><li>unnecessary ui updates (flickering) is avoided and</li>
51    <li>and the configuration is always in a valid and meaningfull
52    state.</li></ul></p>
53    <p>For more information please see the wiki page of the <a
54    href="http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Drawing_framework">drawing framework</a>.
