<p>
When the plug-in is called with <code class="literal">register</code> as
its first argument it should dump following information about self to
standard output (each on a separate line) and terminate:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
<li class="listitem">plug-in name</li>
<li class="listitem">menu path</li>
<li class="listitem">run modes</li>
</ul></div>
<p>
</p>
<p>
This information correspond to similar
<a class="link" href="libgwymodule-gwymodule-process.html" title="gwymodule-process">data process module</a>
information. All fields are case-sensitive. The run modes line
consists of a space-separated sublist of:
</p>
<table border="0" summary="Simple list" class="simplelist">
<tr><td><code class="literal">interactive</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code class="literal">noninteractive</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code class="literal">modal</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code class="literal">with_defaults</code></td></tr>
</table>
<p>
Note however, truly interactive plug-ins are not supported (and maybe
they never will, because it is hard to do this without making plug-ins
derived works of <span class="application">Gwyddion</span>), only modal ones.
</p>
<p>
So the output of plugin <span class="command"><strong>my_plugin</strong></span> when run as
<span class="command"><strong>my_plugin register</strong></span> could look:
</p>
<div class="informalexample">
<table class="listing_frame" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="listing_lines" align="right"><pre>1
2

<td class="listing_code"><pre class="programlisting"><span class="normal">my_plugin</span>

<span class="usertype">noninteractive</span><span class="normal"> with_defaults</span></pre></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
</div>
<div class="refsect1">
<a name="id-1.4.3.4"></a><h2>Data Processing</h2>
<p>
When the plug-in is called with <code class="literal">run</code> as its first
argument then the second argument is equal to actual run mode (one of
those it printed during registration) and the third one is the name
of a <a class="link" href="plugin-proxy-dump.html" title="Dump Format">dump file</a> to process.
</p>
<p>
The plug-in reads the data from dump file, mangles them at its pleasure
and then overwrite the very same file with the result (do not forget to
use <code class="function">ftruncate()</code> first or its Win32 equivalent to
avoid surprises).
</p>
<p>
The plug-in does not need to write back fields it didn't modify,
values from the original data are used then.
E.g., when the resolution does not change, it is enough to dump the
data alone. This also means it can safely ignore anything it does
not understand in the dump file.
