Getting started

New plugins are easy to create as they are written completely in Python. A number of tutorial plugins are included to show how a plugin can modify the behavior of Lasagna or stream data from the main application it to a plugin window. Note also that other than the methods to load a new base stack, all other file loading methods (such the plot overlay loader) are plugins too. This makes it easy to load data in new ways without needing to modify the core code. Similarly, see the IO modules where data classes such as imagestack are defined.

A more detailed tutorial is coming; for now, take a look at the tutorial plugins. These are well commented and show how to modify the main user interface and how to bring up a new window that streams information from the main window. More information will be posted once the plugin system crystallises.
