16// //
17// This is the ROOT implementation of the Qt object communication //
18// mechanism (see also http://www.troll.no/qt/metaobjects.html) //
19// //
20// Signals and slots are used for communication between objects. //
21// When an object has changed in some way that might be interesting //
22// for the outside world, it emits a signal to tell whoever is //
23// listening. All slots that are connected to this signal will be //
24// activated (called). It is even possible to connect a signal //
25// directly to another signal (this will emit the second signal //
26// immediately whenever the first is emitted.) There is no limitation //
27// on the number of slots that can be connected to a signal. //
28// The slots will be activated in the order they were connected //
29// to the signal. This mechanism allows objects to be easily reused, //
30// because the object that emits a signal does not need to know //
31// to what the signals are connected to. //
32// Together, signals and slots make up a powerfull component //
33// programming mechanism. //
34// //
35// This implementation is provided by //
36// Valeriy Onuchin (onuchin@sirius.ihep.su). //
