Detailed Description

Namespace for the Plugin module of TerraLib.

Typedef Documentation

Plugin *(* te::plugin::GetPluginFPtr)(const PluginInfo &info)

It exports Plugin's access function type.

When you are building a C++ Plugin, you will have to define a special function (that has a special name convention) to be called by TerraLib in order to load your plugin. Please, see the documentation HowTo Create C++ TerraLib Plugins for more information.
