<hr/><a name="details" id="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<div class="textblock"><p>Simplify 'plugin' classes to be discovered and/or loaded at runtime. </p>
<p>The code in this file makes it easy to make 'plugin' classes. These classes are derived from a base class, like OBFingerprint. The derived classes ('sub-types' like fingerprint2) usually have a single instance. Plugin classes are only discovered at runtime, so no existing code needs to be changed when adding a new derived class. In some builds the new code can be added or removed by just moving a DLL or so file. The plugin classes derived from any base class (including new ones) type can be listed from the commandline.</p>
<h2>Step-by-Step Instructions</h2>
<p>1) In the header file for YourBaseClass (which handles whatsits). Make sure to include the <a class="el" href="plugin_8h.shtml" title="Simplify &#39;plugin&#39; classes to be discovered and/or loaded at runtime.">plugin.h</a> header , derive the class from OBPlugin and in its definition add the MAKE_PLUGIN macro and a function TypeID() containing a simple descriptor of the type </p>
<div class="fragment"><pre class="fragment"><span class="preprocessor">#include &lt;<a class="code" href="plugin_8h.shtml" title="Simplify &#39;plugin&#39; classes to be discovered and/or loaded at runtime.">openbabel/plugin.h</a>&gt;</span>
<span class="keyword">class </span>YourBaseClass : <span class="keyword">public</span> OBPlugin
{
  <a class="code" href="group__plugins.shtml#gadd740e2a386b7db3e1f0e271cbe8a3f1">MAKE_PLUGIN</a>(YourBaseClass)

  const <span class="keywordtype">char</span>* TypeID()
  { <span class="keywordflow">return</span> <span class="stringliteral">&quot;whatsits&quot;</span>; };

  ...rest of implementation, probably involving <span class="keyword">virtual</span> functions redefined
  in the sub-type classes
};
</pre></div><p> See below for what the macro contains.</p>
<p>2) Declare each sub-type in a class derived from the base class and give it a constructor which calls OBPlugin constructor as shown: </p>
<div class="fragment"><pre class="fragment"><span class="keyword">class </span>YourSubType1 : <span class="keyword">public</span> YourBaseClass
{
<span class="keyword">public</span>:
  YourSubtype1(<span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="keywordtype">char</span>* ID, <span class="keywordtype">bool</span> IsDefault=<span class="keyword">false</span>)
    : YourBaseClass(ID, IsDefault){}

  <span class="keyword">virtual</span> <span class="keywordtype">string</span> Description()
  { <span class="keywordflow">return</span> <span class="stringliteral">&quot;A description with one or more lines&quot;</span>;};

  ...rest of implementation
};
</pre></div><p> Only the first line of the description is used when the subclasses are listed.</p>
<p>3) Declare a global instance of the sub-type class which specifies its ID. and, optionally, whether it is to be regarded as the default type of YourBaseClass. </p>
<div class="fragment"><pre class="fragment">YourSubType1 theType1(<span class="stringliteral">&quot;whatsit2&quot;</span>,<span class="keyword">true</span>);
</pre></div><p>4) The following functions are available:</p>
<p>YourBaseClass* YourBaseClass::FindType(const char* ID); This returns the default type when ID is NULL or empty.</p>
<p>To list the sub-types of any plugin class use the List which sends to cout by default (or any other ostream if specified). </p>
<div class="fragment"><pre class="fragment">  OBPlugin::List(<span class="stringliteral">&quot;whatsits&quot;</span>)
</pre></div><p> The ListAsString and ListAsVector functions are alternatives, usable with scripting.</p>
<p>It is also possible to iterate through each sub-type by the following code: </p>
<div class="fragment"><pre class="fragment">  OBPlugin::PluginIterator itr;
  <span class="keywordflow">for</span>(itr=OBPlugin::Begin(<span class="stringliteral">&quot;whatsits&quot;</span>);itr!=OBPlugin::End(<span class="stringliteral">&quot;whatsits&quot;</span>);++itr)
  {
    itr is a std::map::const_iterator
    itr-&gt;first is the ID of the subtype;
    itr-&gt;second is The OBPlugin* which you will have to cast to your type
  }
</pre></div><p> Since this is not the most beautiful code, it is probably better to use the List methods if possible.</p>
<p>YourBaseClass* MakeNewInstance();</p>
