This is the developer documentation for the Open\+Flipper project. Open\+Flipper is a flexible geometry modeling and processing system. Open\+Flipper consists of the core application and a set of plugins. Only the minimal required functionality is implemented inside the core. Plugins can be written to extend Open\+Flipper and provide new data types, processing functions or user interface modifications. All these plugins are managed by the core. This manual describes how Open\+Flipper plugins can be created and how they can communicate with the core. There are of course examples for a quickstart into Open\+Flippers plugin interface.

This manual is divided into the following pages\+:
