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

◆ GetFilename()

std::string GetFilename ( ) const
inlineinherited

Get the name of the handler.

◆ GetHandle()

std::string GetHandle ( ) const
inlineinherited

Get the short name of the handler.

◆ GetType()

PluginType GetType ( ) const
inlineinherited

Returns the type of the plugin.

Returns
type of the plugin

◆ Init()

virtual void Init ( )
inlinevirtual

Initialize the plugin.

Called after Gazebo has been loaded. Must not block.

◆ Load()

virtual void Load ( rendering::VisualPtr  _visual,
sdf::ElementPtr  _sdf 
)
pure virtual

Load function.

Called when a Plugin is first created, and after the World has been loaded. This function should not be blocking.

Parameters
[in]_visualPointer the Visual Object.
[in]_sdfPointer the the SDF element of the plugin.

Implemented in ShaderParamVisualPlugin, BlinkVisualPlugin, AmbientOcclusionVisualPlugin, and HeightmapLODPlugin.

◆ 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.

◆ 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.
