Pre-defined plug-ins

The definitions of plug-ins that are part of the GPSMan distribution can be found as elements of the array PLUGIN initialised in the file plugins.tcl. The following conventions should be observed when creating a new pre-defined plug-in:

  1. each element of PLUGIN is a list with the remark, the not-available condition, the code and the list describing widgets.
  2. the unique name and the remark should be elements of the TXT array, in order to be translated to the user selected language.

Presently there is a single pre-defined plug-in:

  1. WP to Twitter
    • description: Send WP position, datum, altitude, name and comment to Twitter with tags #GPSMan #waypoint
    • launched from: button in any waypoint window
    • conditions: needs the TclCurl library
    • other information: fails silently when the waypoint position is invalid or the TclCurl library calls fail.
