Introducing the Miral API {#introducing_the_miral_api}
=========================
The main() program
------------------
The main() program from miral-shell looks like this:
\include shell_main.cpp
This shell is providing TitlebarWindowManagerPolicy, TilingWindowManagerPolicy
and SpinnerSplash. The rest is from MirAL.
If you look for the corresponding code in lp:qtmir and lp:mir you’ll find it
less clear, more verbose and scattered over multiple files.
A shell has to provide a window management policy (miral-shell provides two:
TitlebarWindowManagerPolicy and TilingWindowManagerPolicy). A window management
policy needs to implement the \ref miral::WindowManagementPolicy interface for
handling a set of window management events.
The way these events are handled determines the behaviour of the shell.
The \ref miral::WindowManagerTools interface provides the principle methods for
a window management policy to control Mir.
