 # protobuf definition files for the GO gui plugins
-
-Almost all of this code is autogenerated and there
-are no docs yet. This is an abstraction GUI protobuf
-that allows any protobuf .proto file to be turned
-into a spreadsheet and passed to the GO plugin to
-be displayed to the user.
-
-The only functions written by hand are the Custom()
-functions which pass mouse clicks on the spreadsheet
-cells back to the application.
-
-Rather than try to read this code,
-it's better to look at an example
-application that uses it. (forge, virtigo)
-
-This code is what is called 'winning'
