Developing new plugins
----------------------
See the examples at: `<http://github.com/gsi-upm/senpy-plugins-community>`_.
Plugins Interface
=================
The basic methods in a plugin are:
* __init__
* activate: used to load memory-hungry resources
* deactivate: used to free up resources
Plugins are loaded asynchronously, so don't worry if the activate method takes too long. The plugin will be marked as activated once it is finished executing the method.
F.A.Q.
======
If I'm using a classifier, where should I train the classifier?
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Training a classifier can be time time consuming. To avoid running the training unnecessarily, you can use ShelfMixin to store the classifier. For instance:
.. code:: python
from senpy.plugins import ShelfMixin, SenpyPlugin
class MyPlugin(ShelfMixin, SenpyPlugin):
def train(self):
''' Code to train the classifier
'''
# Here goes the code
# ...
return classifier
def activate(self):
if 'classifier' not in self.sh:
classifier = self.train()
self.sh['classifier'] = classifier
self.classifier = self.sh['classifier']
def deactivate(self):
self.close()
You can speficy a 'shelf_file' in your .senpy file. By default the ShelfMixin creates a file based on the plugin name and stores it in that plugin's folder.
Where can I find more code examples?
