Create new plug-in

 Plugins are load modules, compiled (Language C or other).
 Plugins can use all internal functions.
 Plugins can be unloaded at run time, recompiled and then reloaded.

 Activating plugins: "Plugin/Select-Start"  (or Ctrl-P).


Goto development-directory ~/devel/gcad3d/src/UIX/
A source program ({progname}.c) and a Link job ({progname}.mak) are required

Examples: Demo*.mak, ../APP/Demo*.c


With "Options/compile_DLLs" on, a plugin is unloaded at runtime,
 recompiled, relinked and reloaded.



Examples:
see:
../UIX/Demosimple.mak             // minimum example plugin
../UIX/DemoPlugin_Create.mak      // create objects
../UIX/DemoPlugin_Hili.c          // hilite 
../UIX/DemoPlugin_Resolv.mak
../UIX/DemoPlugin_Mousemove.mak
../UIX/DemoPlugin_Dialog.mak
../UIX/Demo_gui_plate.mak



Create new plugin:

cd ~/devel/gcad3d/src/UIX

cp ../APP/Demo_toolbar1.c ../APP/myTest1.c

cp Demo_toolbar1.mak myTest1.mak

# change "Demo_toolbar1" in myTest1.c and in myTest1.mak into "myTest1"

# for the first time the plugin must be built manually:
. ./devbase.sh && make -f myTest1.mak

# start gcad with "Options/compile_DLLs" on
./do comp

# select "Plugin / select plugin .. / myTest1"

# keep gcad running; exit plugin;
# change code (../APP/myTest1.c), save code;
# in active gcad restart plugin with "Ctrl+P" - makes automatic recompile and start ..
