-/** @file
- This extension defines an interface that can be used in LV2 plugins and
- hosts to create GUIs for plugins. The GUIs are plugins that reside in
- shared object files in an LV2 bundle and are referenced in the RDF data
- using the triples (Turtle shown)
-<pre>
- @@prefix guiext: <http://ll-plugins.nongnu.org/lv2/ext/gui#> .
- <http://my.plugin> guiext:gui <http://my.plugingui> .
- <http://my.plugin> a guiext:GtkGUI .
- <http://my.plugingui> guiext:binary <mygui.so> .
-</pre>
- where <http://my.plugin> is the URI of the plugin, <http://my.plugingui> is
- the URI of the plugin GUI and <mygui.so> is the relative URI to the shared
- object file. While it is possible to have the plugin GUI and the plugin in
- the same shared object file it is probably a good idea to keep them
- separate so that hosts that don't want GUIs don't have to load the GUI code.
- A GUI MUST specify its class in the RDF data. In this case the class is
- guiext:GtkGUI, which is the only class defined by this extension.
-
- (Note: the prefix above is used throughout this file for the same URI)
-
- It's entirely possible to have multiple GUIs for the same plugin, or to have
- the GUI for a plugin in a different bundle from the actual plugin - this
- way people other than the plugin author can write plugin GUIs independently
- without editing the original plugin bundle.
-
- Note that the process that loads the shared object file containing the GUI
- code and the process that loads the shared object file containing the
- actual plugin implementation does not have to be the same. There are many
- valid reasons for having the plugin and the GUI in different processes, or
- even on different machines. This means that you can _not_ use singletons
- and global variables and expect them to refer to the same objects in the
- GUI and the actual plugin. The function callback interface defined in this
- header is all you can expect to work.
-
- Since the LV2 specification itself allows for extensions that may add
- new types of data and configuration parameters that plugin authors may
- want to control with a GUI, this extension allows for meta-extensions that
- can extend the interface between the GUI and the host. These extensions
- mirror the extensions used for plugins - there are required and optional
- "features" that you declare in the RDF data for the GUI as
-<pre>
- <http://my.plugingui> guiext:requiredFeature <http://my.feature> .
- <http://my.plugingui> guiext:optionalFeature <http://my.feature> .
-</pre>
- These predicates have the same semantics as lv2:requiredFeature and
- lv2:optionalFeature - if a GUI is declaring a feature as required, the
- host is NOT allowed to load it unless it supports that feature, and if it
- does support a feature (required or optional) it MUST pass that feature's
- URI and any additional data (specified by the meta-extension that defines
- the feature) to the GUI's instantiate() function.
-
- These features may be used to specify how to pass data between the GUI
- and the plugin port buffers - see LV2UI_Write_Function for details.
-
- GUIs written to this specification do not need to be threadsafe - the
- functions defined below may only be called in the same thread as the UI
- main loop is running in.
-
- Note that this GUI extension is NOT a lv2:Feature. There is no way for a
- plugin to know whether the host that loads it supports GUIs or not, and
- the plugin must ALWAYS work without the GUI (although it may be rather
- useless unless it has been configured using the GUI in a previous session).

- main loop to be running during the entire lifetime of all instances of that

- will depend on the class of the port it's being sent to, and the transfer
- mechanism specified for that port class.
-
- Transfer mechanisms are Features and may be defined in meta-extensions.
- They specify how to translate the data buffers passed to this function
- to input data for the plugin ports. If a GUI wishes to write data to an
- input port, it must list a transfer mechanism Feature for that port's
- class as an optional or required feature (depending on whether the GUI
- will work without being able to write to that port or not). The only
- exception is ports of the class lv2:ControlPort, for which @c buffer_size
- should always be 4 and the buffer should always contain a single IEEE-754
- float.
-
- The GUI MUST NOT try to write to a port for which there is no specified
- transfer mechanism, or to an output port. The GUI is responsible for
- allocating the buffer and deallocating it after the call. A function

- What is interesting and how it is written to the buffer passed to this

- class (see LV2UI_Write_Function). The only exception is ports of the
- class lv2:ControlPort, for which this function should be called
- when the port value changes (it must not be called for every single
- change if the host's GUI thread has problems keeping up with the thread
- the plugin is running in), @c buffer_size should be 4 and the buffer
- should contain a single IEEE-754 float.
-
- By default, the host should only call this function for input ports of
- the lv2:ControlPort class. However, the default setting can be modified
- by using the following URIs in the GUI's RDF data:
- <pre>
- guiext:portNotification
- guiext:noPortNotification
- guiext:plugin
- guiext:portIndex
- </pre>
- For example, if you want the GUI with uri
- <code><http://my.plugingui></code> for the plugin with URI
- <code><http://my.plugin></code> to get notified when the value of the
- output control port with index 4 changes, you would use the following
- in the RDF for your GUI:
- <pre>
- <http://my.plugingui> guiext:portNotification [ guiext:plugin <http://my.plugin> ;
- guiext:portIndex 4 ] .
- </pre>
- and similarly with <code>guiext:noPortNotification</code> if you wanted
- to prevent notifications for a port for which it would be on by default
- otherwise. The GUI is not allowed to request notifications for ports
- for which no transfer mechanism is specified, if it does it should be
- considered broken and the host should not load it.
-
- The @c buffer is only valid during the time of this function call, so if
- the GUI wants to keep it for later use it has to copy the contents to an
- internal buffer.
-
- This member may be set to NULL if the GUI is not interested in any
