Some remarks on plugin development and use of CorePlot framework

  1. There is a new plugin template project in _help folder at the OsiriX plugins repository
  2. Change plugin type to fusionFiler in the Info.plist file.
  3. In Edit scheme add executable (Horos or Osirix) in the Info tab. In the Arguments tab add --LoadPlugin $(BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR)/$(PRODUCT_NAME).$(WRAPPER_EXTENSION).
  4. Follow the directions to add CoreData Framework For some reason the plugin does not see the CoreData framework file. In the Build Settings/Framework search paths I added the path to the compiled CoreData framework (<your CorePlot directory>/core-plot/build/Debug).
  5. File -> new file -> user Interface -> empty -> add new HUD Panel.pl
  6. Rename:
    • the file names in finder
    • the file names and class names in the xcode project
    • all occurrences of the ‘plugin Template’ in the Build Settings
    • Target name
    • Scheme name in Manage Schemes. Target name in Build tab in the scheme window. Expand Variables based on in Run tab in scheme window.
  7. Write the code, see the repository.
