/** @page libplasma Plasma framework
|
|
|
|
Plasma framework is the core of the Plasma desktop. It provides a framework of graphical
|
|
widgets (Plasma::Applet) that can be organised into managed groupings
|
|
(Plasma::Containment), such as a desktop or panel. It also provides a data
|
|
abstraction layer (Plasma::DataEngine) and a corresponding service interaction
|
|
layer (Plasma::Service) to make implementing widgets easier.
|
|
|
|
The <a href="http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtquick-index.html">Qt Quick
|
|
framework</a> and set of <a href="http://api.kde.org/frameworks-api/frameworks5-apidocs/">KDE Frameworks</a>
|
|
provide the underpinning for Plasma framework. As a result, it should
|
|
work anywhere that Qt does.
|
|
|
|
Although Plasma framework is developed for the use of the Plasma desktop shell,
|
|
currently known as Plasma 5, it is general enough to be useful in other applications.
|
|
<a href="http://amarok.kde.org">Amarok</a> is using it for its context
|
|
view, allowing for pluggable widgets to display and interact with the music
|
|
collection, such as "current track" and "tag cloud" widgets.
|
|
|
|
Plasma framework itself only provides a framework, and the widgets, containments,
|
|
data engines are all implemented as plugins (using C++, for widgets QML is prefferd).
|
|
However, the framework is designed to make implementing these plugins as easy
|
|
as possible, including providing scripting support.
|
|
|
|
Other important classes are:
|
|
|
|
- Plasma::Corona: the canvas that containments are placed on
|
|
- Plasma::View: a QWidget for displaying a containment
|
|
- Plasma::Theme: provides theming support
|
|
- Plasma::Package: provides descriptions of packages containing plugins
|
|
for libplasma
|
|
- Plasma::Svg and Plasma::FrameSvg: provides themable, cached SVGs
|
|
- Plasma::AppletScript, Plasma::DataEngineScript and
|
|
Plasma::ScriptEngine: provide scripting interfaces for plugins
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
<a href="http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Plasma">Plasma tutorials</a>
|
|
on TechBase provide a good introduction to writing plugins, such as widgets and
|
|
data engines, for libplasma-based applications.
