Plasma Framework

The plasma framework provides the foundations that can be used to build a primary user interface, from graphical to logical components.

Introduction

The plasma framework is made by a library component and a runtime component:

  • libplasma: this is a library for the business logic, it manages: ** rendering of SVG themes ** loading of files from a certain filesystem structure: packages ** data access: dataengines ** loading of the plugin structure of the workspace: containments and applets

  • QML script engine: given the data provided by an Applet or a Containment, it maps to loading of an actual QML representation of it

  • QML components: sets of QML components to provide a widget set, and to access to libplasma components, such as SVG themes and dataengines.

  • Runtime environment: the plasma-shell executable. The runtime that will load the actual workspace, it's completely controlled by QML, by itself doesn't have any UI.
