Plasma Programming with C++
- Getting Started With Plasmoids
- Creating your first plasmoid in C++ with SVG background, icon and text
- Writing a DataEngine
- DataEngines provide a standardized interface to various data sources for visualizations to use. Learn what a DataEngine is and how to write one of your own.
- Using DataEngines in Plasmoids
- With a DataEngine, it is possible to retrieve data for display in a simple and standard way. This tutorial covers the topic of how to use DataEngines for this purpose in Plasmoids.
- Video tutorial
- Video and slides from a presentation on libplasma (link to Slides broken)
- How to use extenders in your Plasmoid
- A simple example that shows how to use extenders in a Plasmoid.
- Creating Runners
- Runners are plugins that provide action-based search functionality in the Plasma workspace "run command" dialog. These plugins can be used by any application that links again libplasma.
- Creating Comic Plugins
- This guide shows you how to create a comic plugin for the comic plasmoid.
Plasma Programming with Python
- Getting Started
- Creating and running your first plasmoid in Python
- Using widgets
- Introduction to using Plasma widgets
- Using DataEngines
- How to use DataEngines from a plasmoid
- Writing DataEngines
- How to write your own Plasma DataEngine
- Writing a Plasmoid in Python
- Writing a simple battery graph in python
Plasma Programming with Ruby
- Getting Started
- Creating and running your first plasmoid in Ruby
- Using widgets
- Introduction to using Plasma widgets
- Writing a simple paste applet
- A tutorial explaining how to write a simple paste applet using widgets
Theme development
- Creating a Plasma Theme
- Guide to creating your first Plasma theme
