D21281: [RFC] Write a bit Documentation for Part and PageView

[Albert Astals Cid]

aacid added a comment.


  The part is created by the shell, see around line 85.
  
  The basic idea is that shells and parts don't each other (in this particular case the shell is "cheating" a bit), and just use the query system. For example, ark will say, can i get a part that knows how to show PDF files? And then use that to show you a preview of the file.
  
  Now since our shell cheats because it knows specifically it'll get the okular part, it can cast to stuff like okular viewer interface.
  
  Basically parts are a plug-in system that can be used in random shells.
  
  Does that make sense?
