Plugins


iceWing is a graphical plugin shell, which can dynamically load additional plugins. Different of these plugins are integrated in the main iceWing distribution. Some examples are:

grab
Read images from the disk in various image formats, videos from the disk, from grabber-hardware, e.g. V4L2-devices or FireWire, and also from external, network wide processes.
record
Saving of images by using a second thread to write the images to disk.
demo
Demonstrates all widgets available in iceWing and the different render capabilities of iceWing.

Additional independently distributed plugins are available:

xcf4icewing

XCF, the XML enabled communication framework, provides features for distribution of modules and corresponding algorithms across different machines. See http://xcf.sourceforge.net for additional details about the framework and the software.

To integrate iceWing into a larger XCF-based system architecture or to interconnect several program instances of iceWing, there are the so-called XCF infrastructure plugins that enhance iceWing transparently by the XCF communication patterns. The following plugins and features are available:

XCFExport
Allows to export any XML data from iceWing to other processes via XCF.
XCFImport
Counterpart to XCFExport. Allows to import XML data into iceWing via XCF.
XCFImageExport
Allows to export (binary) image data.
XCFImageImport
Allows to import (binary) image data.
