Plugins

The Tulip plug-in system allows plug-ins to be loaded dynamically at run-time, and can check dependencies on other plug-ins, as well as multiple definitions. More...

Classes

• class tlp::Algorithm

  This abstract class describes a basic algorithm plugin. It inherits on WithParameter and WithDependency for convenience. Basic functionality consists in checking the algorithm can run on the current Graph (e.g. is the graph simple ?), running the algorithm and resetting the algorithm to re-apply it. The algorithm can and should report progress and which task it is performing if it is decomposed in multiple phases (e.g. layouting the graph, coloring it, ...). More...
  

• class tlp::AlgorithmPlugin

  A class for algorithm plug-ins The factory the registers itself in the Tulip plug-in system (through the static initFactory() method when the library is loaded.. The actual registration is delegated to a TemplateFactory for code factorization. More...
  

• class tlp::BooleanAlgorithm

  Interface for selection plug-ins. More...
  

• class tlp::ColorAlgorithm

  Interface for color plug-ins. More...
  

• class tlp::DoubleAlgorithm

  Interface for metric plug-ins. More...
  

• class tlp::ExportModule

  Interface for exportModule plug-ins. More...
  

• class tlp::ExportModuleFactory
• class tlp::ImportModule

  Base class for import plug-ins. More...
  

• class tlp::ImportModuleFactory
• class tlp::IntegerAlgorithm

  Interface for int plug-ins. More...
  

• class tlp::LayoutAlgorithm

  Interface for layout plug-ins. More...
  

• class tlp::PluginInfoInterface

  Base interface for plug-in description. This class is not intented to be subclassed by plug-ins themselves, but by the factories who create the plug-ins. This class holds user informations, such as name of the author, date of creation, and miscellaneous informations. It also holds informations for the Tulip plug-in system, such as the version (used to know when there is an update for a plug-in), the name (used as unique identifier to register the plug-in), the Tulip version the plug-in was built with (to know whether the plug-in is compatible with the currently running version of TUlip), and the group this plug-in belongs to (e.g. trees). More...
  

• class tlp::AlgorithmContext

  Parameter for calling clustering plugins. More...
  

• class tlp::SizeAlgorithm

  Interface for sizes plug-ins. More...
  

• class tlp::StringAlgorithm

  Interface for String plug-ins. More...
  

• class tlp::TemplateFactoryInterface

  This interface lists functions used to regroup plug-ins. More...
  

• class tlp::TemplateFactory< ObjectFactory, ObjectType, Context >

  This template class takes 3 parameters : More...
  

• struct tlp::Dependency

  Represents a single Tulip plug-in. More...
  

• class tlp::WithDependency

  Describes the dependencies of a plug-in on other plug-ins, identified by their name. This allows to have a plug-in inner workings depend on other plug-ins without linking them statically, or hoping depended plug-in will be there. More...
  

• class tlp::ParameterDescription

  Describes a parameter with a type, default value, whether or not is it mandatory and a help string describing what this parameter should be used for. More...
  

• struct tlp::ParameterDescriptionList

  This class describes parameters taken by a plugin. More...
  

• struct tlp::WithParameter

  This class describes parameters on a plug-in. More...

The Tulip plug-in system can be decomposed in 4 layers:

1: Tulip, who knows about TemplateFactories

2: TemplateFactories, who know about Plugin subclasses, usually called factories.

3: Plugin subclasses, who know about the plugin itself

4: The plugin itself, a subclass of Algorithm (more likely IntegerAlgorithm, DoubleAlgorithm, ...), View, ControllerViewsManager, ...
