This file is what every viewer plugin writer should refer to.

- Remove the _api functions which add nothing
- streamline the rest.

A viewer plugin is, before anything, a plugin. It thus has an init and 
a destroy function called whenever it is loaded/initialized and 
unloaded/destroyed. A viewer depends on lttvwindow and thus uses its init and
destroy functions to register viewer related hooks defined in this file.

The lifetime of a viewer is as follows. The viewer constructor function is
called each time an instance view is created (one subwindow of this viewer
type is created by the user). Thereafter, the viewer gets hooks called for
different purposes by the window containing it. These hooks are detailed
below.

show: called initially once the trace, position and time window are known.
      Do the drawing or register hooks
process_trace for show: hooks called
show_end: remove the hooks

background_init: prepare for background computation (comes after show_end).
process_trace for background: done in small chunks in gtk_idle, hooks called.
background_end: remove the hooks and perhaps update the window.

update: called when the windows is exposed/resized, the time window is changed,
        the current time is changed or the traceset is changed (different
        traceset or traces added/removed. Redraw or register hooks.
process_trace for update: hooks called
update_end: remove the hooks.

There may be different versions of update functions for the different cases,
or the type of update may be described in an argument. The expose method
normally provides the exposed region. This should be used to register hooks
to process_traceset but also tell about the time interval for which it is
required. Then, a expose_end will be required to remove the hooks and finish
the display as needed.

In most cases, the enclosing window knows about updates such as a new trace
added to a traceset, time window updates caused by scrolling and even
expose events. There are a few cases, however, where updates are caused by
actions known by a view instance. For example, clicking in a view may update
the current time; all viewers within the same window must be told about the
new current time to change the currently highlighted time point. A viewer
reports such events by calling report_update on its lttvwindow. The lttvwindow
will thereafter call update for each of its contained viewers.


Things that can happen to a viewer:

update_time_window
update_current_time
update_traceset
update_filter
show_viewer
update_dividor
?? Reshape, damage as gtk methods ??

Things that a viewer can do:

update_status
set_time_window
set_current_time
update_traceset?
update_filter?
show_viewer?
set_focused_pane
set_hpane_dividor
