Custom Plugin Question

Dear Forum readers,

I would like to create some plugins to attach them to Salome GUI, I have read some post related with this matter and also spent a few hours going trhough the tutorials, unfortunately, I haven´t been able to succed yet.

This is one of the tutorials that I followed word by word:  http://docs.salome-platform.org/salome_6_4_0/gui/GUI/using_pluginsmanager.html

I defined two system variables that point to the folder were the plugins are stored (SALOME_PLUGIN_PATH  and another one)

My problem is that I can not achive to add new options to the menu bar that are already writen in the salome gui. May be is a problem with the version, the version in the example is 6.4 and I am running 6.5.

I have attached some Py files that I have been using in my attempts to create new menu options or new windows.

In these files i would like to draw special attention to MinMax_dialog.py that tries to generate a new window, but it does nothing at the end; and also to tubedialog.py and tubedialog_ui.py which in fact generate new windows, but they are useless and Salome hangs when this scripts are runned.

Best Regards. any help is much appreciated.

Sorry, I forgot to say that I am working in Win Vista 32bit and I use Salome 6.5.0 version, (I took the smallest package in the download page, the one that is already made)

Hello,

You have to define your plugin in salome_plugins.py.

You can create a new salome_plugins.py file located in your ~/.config/salome/Plugins directory.

Try to add these lines to register your function:

import minmax_plugin

salome_pluginsmanager.AddFunction('Min/max mesh controls',

                                  'Displays the min/max value of a control',

                                  minmax_plugin.minmax)

You can have a look at the bride plugin in Salome-Meca. You can download the sources here (instead of downloading the full Salome-Meca package): http://lides.fr/pub/plugin_cabri.tgz
