Hello,
I try to compare existing plugin APIs starting with imaging ones. My goal
is to find something useable across applications.
Please comment to complete the list or just edit the create wiki :-)
http://create.freedesktop.org/w/index.php?title=Unified_plug-in_API
Here is the feature matrix:
API/Format Technology UI I18N parameter types data
types graph structure
Gimp API C Gimp/Gtk gettext user defined 8-bit
G/GA/RGB/RGBA single instance
Krita API C++ ?? Qt Krita options 8/16-integers/float 1-5
channels ? single instance
digiKam API C++ ?? Qt ?? 8/16-integers 1-4 channels ?
single instance
KIPI C++ ?? Qt ?? 8/16-integers 1-4 channel ? single
instance
OpenGTL Pixelbender script rendered integers, floats, small
arrays -- float RGBA Pixelbender graph
Oyranos C rendered XForms subset gettext or custom integers, floats, text, arrays custom single instance
(Sorry for the bad formatting :-(, its just tab stopped.)
You can add more features you might find essential or of course other APIs
or formats.
kind regards
Kai-Uwe Behrmann
