NAME
       QStylePlugin - Abstract base for custom QStyle plugins

SYNOPSIS
       #include <qstyleplugin.h>

   Public Members
       QStylePlugin ()
       ~QStylePlugin ()
       virtual QStringList keys () const = 0
       virtual QStyle * create ( const QString & key ) = 0

DESCRIPTION
       The QStylePlugin class provides an abstract base for custom QStyle plugins.

       The style plugin is a simple plugin interface that makes it easy to create custom styles that can be loaded dynamically into applications
       with a QStyleFactory.

       Writing a style plugin is achieved by subclassing this base class, reimplementing the pure virtual functions keys() and create(), and
       exporting the class with the Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN macro. See the plugins documentation for an example.

       See also Plugins.

MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION
QStylePlugin::QStylePlugin ()
       Constructs a style plugin. This is invoked automatically by the Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN macro.

QStylePlugin::~QStylePlugin ()
       Destroys the style plugin.

       You never have to call this explicitly. Qt destroys a plugin automatically when it is no longer used.

QStyle * QStylePlugin::create ( const QString & key ) [pure virtual]
       Creates and returns a QStyle object for the style key key. The style key is usually the class name of the required style.

       See also keys().

QStringList QStylePlugin::keys () const [pure virtual]
       Returns the list of style keys this plugin supports.

       These keys are usually the class names of the custom styles that are implemented in the plugin.

       See also create().
