Detailed Description

Manage a collection of StelModules including both core and plugin modules.

The order in which some actions like draw or update are called for each module can be retrieved with the getCallOrders() method.

Member Function Documentation

void StelModuleMgr::extensionsAdded ( QObjectList newExtensions )

signal

Called whenever new plugin extensions are added.

QList<StelModule*> StelModuleMgr::getAllModules ( )

inline

Get the list of all the currently registered modules.

Definition at line 78 of file StelModuleMgr.hpp.

const QList<StelModule*>& StelModuleMgr::getCallOrders ( StelModule::StelModuleActionName action )

inline

Get the list of modules in the correct order for calling the given action.

Definition at line 81 of file StelModuleMgr.hpp.

QObjectList StelModuleMgr::getExtensionList ( )

inline

Returns the list of all currently registered extensions.

If using this method, you probably also want to subscribe to the extensionsAdded() signal to handle all possible initialization orders.

Definition at line 108 of file StelModuleMgr.hpp.

StelModule* StelModuleMgr::getModule	(	const QString &	moduleID,
		bool	noWarning = `false`
	)

Get the corresponding module or Q_NULLPTR if can't find it.

Parameters

moduleID	the QObject name of the module instance, by convention it is equal to the class name.
noWarning	if true, don't display any warning if the module is not found.

QList<PluginDescriptor> StelModuleMgr::getPluginsList ( )

Return the list of all the external module found in the modules directories.

StelModule* StelModuleMgr::loadPlugin ( const QString & moduleID )

Load dynamically a module.

Parameters

moduleID the name of the module = name of the dynamic library file without extension (e.g "mymodule" for mymodule.so or mymodule.dll)

Returns: the loaded module or Q_NULLPTR in case of error. The returned Stelmodule still needs to be initialized

void StelModuleMgr::registerModule	(	StelModule *	m,
		bool	generateCallingLists = `false`
	)

Register a new StelModule to the list The module is later referenced by its QObject name.

void StelModuleMgr::setPluginLoadAtStartup	(	const QString &	key,
		bool	b
	)

Define whether a plugin should be loaded at startup.

Parameters

key	the key of the plugin as in the PluginDescriptor class.
b	the value to set.

void StelModuleMgr::unloadAllPlugins ( )

Unload all plugins.

void StelModuleMgr::unloadModule	(	const QString &	moduleID,
		bool	alsoDelete = `true`
	)

Unregister and delete a StelModule.

The program will hang if other modules depend on the removed one

Parameters

moduleID	the unique ID of the module, by convention equal to the class name
alsoDelete	if true also delete the StelModule instance, otherwise it has to be deleted by external code.

void StelModuleMgr::update ( )

Regenerate calling lists if necessary.
