Base class for all plugins.
The common methods and members are defined here. The available plugin type (actuator AddInActuator, dataIO AddInDataIO and algo AddInAlgo) are derived from this class. At the main program startup all available plugins located in the plugin directory are searched and matched against the current plugin interface version. Then all compatible plugins can be check with the AddInManager. Up to that stage for each plugin only a lightweight AddInInterface AddInInterfaceBase class has been loaded. To use a plugin instances of the plugin class have to be instantiated. The AddInInterface is run in the calling thread whilst the plugin classes are run in separate threads. Therefore the plugin functions are implemented as slots which can be used e.g. with the invokeMethod function. The base functionality included in this base class is getting the plugin's parameter list, getting the classes uniqueID (which is used e.g. for saveing the parameter values) and optinally to bring up a configuration dialog.
overwrite this function if you registered exec funcs. Once the exec function is called, this method is executed.
this method can handle additional functions of your plugin.
Use registerExecFunc to register a specific function name and a set of mandatory and optional default parameters. It one on those functions is called (for instance by a python-call), this method is executed. Implement a switch case for the function name and start the execution. The mandatory and optional parameters are handled like it is the case for the creation (init-method) of a plugin. Additionally define an optional vector of output parameters, that are finally filled with a valid input during the execution of the function.
- Parameters
-
| funcName | is the function name |
| paramsMand | is the vector of mandatory parameters for the specific function name |
| paramsOpt | is the vector of optional parameters for the specific function name |
| paramsOut | is the vector of parameters (must have flag OUT, not IN), that are the return value(s) of the specific function call |
| waitCond | is the semaphore in order guarantee, that the caller of this method waits until the function has been executed. |

method to retrieve a parameter from the parameter map (m_params)
returns parameter from m_params vector. If the parameter could not be found or if the given name is invalid an invalid Param is returned. If you provide the nameCheckOk-pointer, you will return a boolean value describing whether your name matched the possible regular expression.
The parameter name, that is search can have the following form:
- Name (where Name consists of numbers, characters (a-z) or the symbols _-)
- Name[Idx] (where Idx is a fixed-point number
- Name[Idx]:suffix (where suffix is any string - suffix is ignored by this method)
- Name:suffix
until now, the Idx is ignored by this method.
- Parameters
-
| name | is the name of the parameter |
| nameCheckOk | returns true if name corresponds to the necessary syntax, else false |
- Returns
- Param as copy of the internal m_params-map or empty Param, if name could not be resolved or found
method invoked by AddInManager if the plugin should be pulled back to the main thread of itom. (not for direct use in plugins)
method invoked by AddInManager if the plugin should be pulled back to the main thread of itom.
Do not invoke this method in any other case. It should only be invoked by AddInManager of the itom core. After having moved the thread to the main thread of itom, the plugin's thread m_pThread can be closed and deleted. However this cannot be done in this method, since a thread can only be killed and closed by another thread. Therefore, this is done in the destructor of the AddIn.
Qt does not allow pushing an object from the object's thread to the caller's thread. Only the object itself can move its thread to another thread.

open configuration dialog
method called if the configuration dialog of the plugin should be shown.
Overwrite this method if your plugin provides a configuration dialog. This method is directly called by the main (GUI) thread. Therefore you can directly show your configuration dialog, connect it with signals and slots of your plugin instance (which possibly is executed in another thread), wait for any commands or that the dialog is closed and handle the result.
- Returns
- retWarning since you have to overwrite this method in order to show your configuration dialog.
