Plug-In Scripts

Note: This section assumes you are familiar with the notion of plug-in spots (algorithm entities) and plug-ins. Refer The Big Picture Of Algorithms to for more information.

Rather than write a java program for a plug-in spot, you can create a plug-in using the scripting "language". In essence, this is the only difference between a program-based plug-in and a script-based one. Obviously, this is a significant difference as it allows you to implement plug-ins without programming (and compilers).

The following topics describe basic concepts related to plug-in scripts.
