◆ Create()

static TPtr Create ( const std::string &  _filename,
const std::string &  _name 
)
inlinestaticinherited

a class method that creates a plugin from a file name.

It locates the shared library and loads it dynamically.

Parameters
[in]_filenamethe path to the shared library.
[in]_nameshort name of the plugin
Returns
Shared Pointer to this class type

References PluginT< T >::filename, gzerr, and SingletonT< SystemPaths >::Instance().

◆ GetFilename()

std::string GetFilename ( ) const
inlineinherited

Get the name of the handler.

References PluginT< T >::filename.

◆ GetHandle()

std::string GetHandle ( ) const
inlineinherited

Get the short name of the handler.

References PluginT< T >::handleName.

◆ GetType()

PluginType GetType ( ) const
inlineinherited

Returns the type of the plugin.

Returns
type of the plugin

References PluginT< T >::type.

◆ Init()

virtual void Init ( )
inlinevirtualinherited

◆ Load()

void Load ( physics::ModelPtr  _model,
sdf::ElementPtr  _sdf 
)
virtual

Called when the plugin is loaded.

Parameters
[in]_modelPointer to the model for which the plugin is loaded
[in]_sdfPointer to the SDF for _model

Implements ModelPlugin.

◆ LoadParam() [1/2]

void LoadParam ( const sdf::ElementPtr &  _sdf,
const std::string &  _name,
V &  _target,
_defaultValue = V() 
) const
inlineprotectedinherited

Load parameter value from _sdf and store it to the given reference, using the supplied default value if the element in _sdf is not found.

A message is written using gzmsg reporting whether the default value was used or not.

Parameters
[in]_sdfThe SDF element of the plugin.
[in]_nameName of a tag inside the SDF.
[out]_targetThe reference to store the param value to.
[in]_defaultValueThe default value.

References gzmsg, and PluginT< T >::handleName.

◆ LoadParam() [2/2]

void LoadParam ( sdf::ElementPtr &  _sdf,
const std::string &  _name,
std::string &  _target,
const char *  _defaultValue 
) const
inlineprotectedinherited

Load parameter value from _sdf and store it to the given reference, using the supplied default value if the element in _sdf is not found.

A message is written using gzmsg reporting whether the default value was used or not. String specialization to allow accepting const char* values for std::string parameters.

Parameters
[in]_sdfThe SDF element of the plugin.
[in]_nameName of a tag inside the SDF.
[out]_targetThe reference to store the param value to.
[in]_defaultValueThe default value.

◆ Reset()

virtual void Reset ( )
inlinevirtualinherited

Override this method for custom plugin reset behavior.

Reimplemented in KeysToCmdVelPlugin, RandomVelocityPlugin, ElevatorPlugin, FollowerPlugin, LinearBatteryPlugin, ActorPlugin, InitialVelocityPlugin, and SphereAtlasDemoPlugin.
