Development/Developing Plugins

MatterControl allows the use of plugins to add features and functionality.

Each plugin inherits from the MatterControlPlugin class and implements the two functions from the interface:

public override void Initialize(GuiWidget application)

public override string GetPuginInfoJSon()

Currently GetPluginInfoJSon has the following defined

• Field: "Name" - Example: "Name Creator"
• Field: "UUID" - Example "xxx06000-66c3-11e3-949a-0800200c9a66"
• Field: "About" - Example: "A Creator that allows you to type in text"
• Field: "Developer" - Example: "MatterHackers, Inc."
• Field: "URL" - Example: "https://www.matterhackers.com\"
