-/**
- * An interface for visual templates.
- *
- * A visual template hierarchy can be formed using visual template objects. From a visual template
- * hierarchy a concrete visual tree can be constructed that composes of toolkit visuals.
- * Produced concrete visual tree will match the visual template hierarchy constructed by
- * adding visual templates as children of each other. User can create any number of identical
- * visual trees from one visual template hierarchy. Each visual template object creates
- * one visual in the produced concrete visual tree.
- *
- * A visual template can be owned by a widget element (Alf::IAlfElement).
- * Only root visual templates of a visual template hierarchy can be owned by an element.
- * As a consequence of this an owner element of a visual template and a parent visual template
- * are mutually exclusive properties. That is, if a visual template is a child of
- * another visual template it cannot be owned by an element. Also if an element
- * owns a visual template it cannot be a child of another visual template.
- *
- * If a child visual template is set to an element the connection between child visual template
- * and its parent is removed thus making the visual template a root of the visual template hierarchy
- * below it. Similarly if a visual template owned by an element is set as a child to a visual template
- * the ownership of that visual template by its element is removed leaving the element with no visual
- * template.
- *
- * Concrete visual trees can be produced using createVisualTree() method. Existing concrete visual
- * trees can be updated using the updateVisualTree() method. Attributes of the produced concrete
- * visuals can be manipulated through attribute setters and containers assigned to visual template
- * using method addAttributeSetter(). Data that is passed to the createVisualTree() and updateVisualTree()
- * methods contain the attribute values that are set to the concrete visuals giving users a
- * possibility to customize the produced concrete visual trees.
