Showcase SDK Distribution

 
 
 

The Showcase SDK is distributed as a Python library compatible with Python 2.6.6 and all supported versions of Showcase. The SDK is contained in the following directories:

bin - Contains the Showcase executable (Showcase.exe) and the Python library as a collection of precompiled Python module (.pyo) files. Also contains ShowcaseConsole.exe, a version of Showcase helpful when developing your own add-ins. It launches Showcase with a separate console window where you can view error messages, the output of print statements and optionally view action, response and information Messages that are part of the Message Passing Architecture.

extras - Contains samples files and unsupported material. The Batch and Interactive subdirectories contain Python scripts illustrating the correct use of the SDK. The /Ajax directory contains a sample JavaScript program and documentation that illustrates how to control Showcase from a web browser on a remote client.

python - Contains the Python distribution, including Python documentation.

support/SampleScenes - Scenes you can use to explore Showcase functionality and test your add-ins.

Note The Showcase SDK requires Python 2.6.6 to operate. This is installed by default, when you install Showcase.
