The UIs are plugins that reside in - shared object files in an LV2 bundle and are referenced in the RDF data - using the triples (Turtle shown) -
    
-    @@prefix uiext:  .
-        uiext:ui      .
-        a            uiext:GtkUI .
-      uiext:binary  .
-
- where is the URI of the plugin, is - the URI of the plugin UI and is the relative URI to the shared - object file. While it is possible to have the plugin UI 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 UIs don't have to load the UI code. - A UI MUST specify its class in the RDF data, in this case uiext:GtkUI. The - class defines what type the UI is, e.g. what graphics toolkit it uses. - There are no UI classes defined in this extension, those are specified - separately (and anyone can define their own). - - (Note: the prefix above is used throughout this file for the same URI) - - It's entirely possible to have multiple UIs for the same plugin, or to have - the UI for a plugin in a different bundle from the actual plugin - this - way people other than the plugin author can write plugin UIs independently - without editing the original plugin bundle. - - Note that the process that loads the shared object file containing the UI - 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 UI 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 - UI 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 UI, this extension allows for meta-extensions that - can extend the interface between the UI 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 UI as -
    
-     uiext:requiredFeature  .
-     uiext:optionalFeature  .
-
- These predicates have the same semantics as lv2:requiredFeature and - lv2:optionalFeature - if a UI 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) in a LV2_Feature struct (as defined in lv2.h) to the UI's - instantiate() function. - - These features may be used to specify how to pass data between the UI - and the plugin port buffers - see LV2UI_Write_Function for details. - - There are four features defined in this extension that hosts may want to - implement: - -
-    uiext:makeResident
-
- If this feature is required by a UI the host MUST NEVER unload the shared - library containing the UI implementation during the lifetime of the host - process (e.g. never calling dlclose() on Linux). This feature may be - needed by e.g. a Gtk UI that registers its own Glib types using - g_type_register_static() - if it gets unloaded and then loaded again the - type registration will break, since there is no way to unregister the - types when the library is unloaded. The data pointer in the LV2_Feature - for this feature should always be set to NULL. - -
-    uiext:makeSONameResident
-
- This feature is ELF specific - it should only be used by UIs that - use the ELF file format for the UI shared object files (e.g. on Linux). - If it is required by an UI the UI should also list a number of SO names - (shared object names) for libraries that the UI shared object - depends on and that may not be unloaded during the lifetime of the host - process, using the predicate @c uiext:residentSONames, like this: -
-     uiext:residentSONames "libgtkmm-2.4.so.1", "libfoo.so.0"
-
- The host MUST then make sure that the shared libraries with the given ELF - SO names are not unloaded when the plugin UI is, but stay loaded during - the entire lifetime of the host process. On Linux this can be accomplished - by calling dlopen() on the shared library file with that SO name and never - calling a matching dlclose(). However, if a plugin UI requires the - @c uiext:makeSONameResident feature, it MUST ALWAYS be safe for the host to - just never unload the shared object containing the UI implementation, i.e. - act as if the UI required the @c uiext:makeResident feature instead. Thus - the host only needs to find the shared library files corresponding to the - given SO names if it wants to save RAM by unloading the UI shared object - file when it is no longer needed. The data pointer for the LV2_Feature for - this feature should always be set to NULL. - -
-    uiext:noUserResize
-
- If an UI requires this feature it indicates that it does not make sense - to let the user resize the main widget, and the host should prevent that. - This feature may not make sense for all UI types. The data pointer for the - LV2_Feature for this feature should always be set to NULL. - -
-    uiext:fixedSize
-
- If an UI requires this feature it indicates the same thing as - uiext:noUserResize, and additionally it means that the UI will not resize - the main widget on its own - it will always remain the same size (e.g. a - pixmap based GUI). This feature may not make sense for all UI types. - The data pointer for the LV2_Feature for this feature should always be set - to NULL. - - - UIs 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 UI extension is NOT a lv2:Feature. There is no way for a - plugin to know whether the host that loads it supports UIs or not, and - the plugin must ALWAYS work without the UI (although it may be rather - useless unless it has been configured using the UI in a previous session). - - A UI does not have to be a graphical widget, it could just as well be a - server listening for OSC input or an interface to some sort of hardware - device, depending on the RDF class of the UI. -*/ - -#ifndef LV2_UI_H -#define LV2_UI_H - -#include "lv2.h" - -#define LV2_UI_URI "http://lv2plug.in/ns/extensions/ui" - - -#ifdef __cplusplus -extern "C" { -#endif - - -/** A pointer to some widget or other type of UI handle. - The actual type is defined by the type URI of the UI. - All the functionality provided by this extension is toolkit - independent, the host only needs to pass the necessary callbacks and - display the widget, if possible.

-      uiext:noPortNotification

-      uiext:portIndex
