In order to extend the functionality of the HDPS system, it is possible to write your own plug-ins and add them to the system. The first step to doing so would be to decide what kind of plug-in you want to write. There are five possible types of plug-ins:

View Plug-in

A view plug-in is specifically targeted at visualization of some data. Examples of such plug-ins would be:

  • A scatter plot
  • An image viewer
  • A 3D volume viewer
  • A chart or histogram

An example of how to write a View Plug-in is given here: https://github.com/hdps/ExampleViewPlugin
