   \brief QmitkSegmentationFlowControlView
 
   Class that "controls" the segmentation view. It offers the possibility to accept a segmentation.
   Accepting the segmentation stores the segmentation to the given working directory.
 
   The working directory is specified by command line arguments. If no commandline flag is set the current working directory will be used.
