Creating a plugin

To create a new plugin for ApertusVR use apm to generate folders and files. In the following example, we create a new plugin called "ipCamera":

ApertusVR\utilities\apm>python apm.py create plugin ipCamera
Creating new plugin with the following properties:
  name: ipCamera
  path: ../../plugins/ipCamera/
  class name: ApeIpCameraPlugin
  header name: APE_IPCAMERAPLUGIN_H
  header file path: ../../plugins/ipCamera/ApeIpCameraPlugin.h
  cpp file path: ../../plugins/ipCamera/ApeIpCameraPlugin.cpp
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

If you find everything in order, type 'y' and press enter to continue.

If you want to add your newly created plugin to plugins/CMakeLists.txt, just type 'y' when apm asks it:

Add to plugins/CMakeLists.txt? [Y/n] y

In order to see your new plugin in your IDE, don't forget to

1. regenerate the CMake project
