Running the Sample Add-Ins

 
 
 

Sample add-ins coded as Python scripts have been provided (in the /extras directory) that demonstrate the most common applications of the Showcase SDK. Each add-in demonstrates some basic functionality, and can be used as a basis for developing your own add-ins.

At startup, Showcase loads all add-in source files it finds in the /bin directory. You can also load an add-in manually from another location using the File Add-in Manager command. In this second case, you must restart Showcase for the add-in to appear.

Note Be sure to restart Showcase (or Showcase Console) each time you modify a batch or script file — otherwise the changes will not be picked up. In addition, delete the "compiled" Python object (.pyo) file that is automatically created by the Python interpreter used by Showcase.
