Plug-in Nodes

Plug-ins give you the opportunity to program your own nodes for Chalice, which can then be used in a Chalice network like any other node. Many of the features available in Chalice nodes can also be used in plug-in nodes. For example, you can process single or multiple inputs, create a custom UI, and animate parameters using the STED.

Plug-ins are DSO linkable modules that reside (by default) in the "Chalice2.0/plugIns" directory. You can set a path to additional directories with the PLUGIN_DSO_PATH environment variable.

Documentation for Plug-in Developers

Complete instructions (in html format) for plug-in developers are installed as part of the Chalice Online Help System. You can access this material from within Chalice by selecting the "Writing Plug-ins" item under the Chalice Help menu.

Source Code

The complete source code files for plug-in examples are available in chalice2.0/support/src/plugIn.

On the Web

The most up-to-date versions of the html documentation and source examples are also available in the Support section of the Silicon Grail website at http://www.sgrail.com.
