// .NAME vtkEventQtSlotConnect - Manage connections between VTK events and Qt slots.
// .SECTION Description
// vtkEventQtSlotConnect provides a way to manage connections between VTK events
// and Qt slots.
// Qt slots to connect with must have one of the following signatures:
// - MySlot()
// - MySlot(vtkObject* caller)
// - MySlot(vtkObject* caller, unsigned long vtk_event)
// - MySlot(vtkObject* caller, unsigned long vtk_event, void* client_data)
// - MySlot(vtkObject* caller, unsigned long vtk_event, void* client_data, void* call_data)
// - MySlot(vtkObject* caller, unsigned long vtk_event, void* client_data, void* call_data, vtkCommand*)
