Showcase add-ins are Python modules which extend the functionality of Showcase by:
- adding menu items
- authoring advanced environments
- authoring custom materials
- saving screenshots or short movies
add-ins can be combined with custom web browser interfaces and batch scripting to provide even greater functionality.
A Showcase add-in contains:
- A class derived from UserCustomization.UserCustomBase.
- A module method instantiate() which returns an instance of your newly defined add-in class derived from UserCustomization.UserCustomBase.
def instantiate():
return MyAddinCustom()
- An optional message registration call to theMessageRegistry.register() to register your custom messages (and any associated usage documentation) with Showcase.
- An optional custom message interpreter derived from MessageInterpreter.MessageInterpreter.
