This sample plugin demonstrates, how user plugins are created and used in the nuclear spectrum analysis tool hdtv.

User plugins are located in the plugins folder of the hdtv config directory, e. g. ~/.config/hdtv/plugins. If you don’t have any plugins yet, you will first have to create this folder. Afterwards, clone this repository to the helloworld subdirectory of the plugins folder, e. g. ~/.config/hdtv/plugins/helloworld.

Finally, you have to activate the plugin. Create the file startup.py in the hdtv config directory. This file is automatically read and executed, when hdtv starts. Add the following line to import the plugin:

import plugins.helloworld

Currently, the plugin outputs Hello World!, when hdtv is started. Additionally, a new command helloworld is added to the hdtv shell, that also prints Hello World!:
