Using plugins

Apophysis-j supports java plugins. That is, you can write your own java class describing the computation to be done for a given variation, compile it, and make it known by apophysis-j. Use git to clone this repository: git@github.com:mebigfatguy/apophysis-j.git to get the source code. It contains everything you need to create your own variations, including a set of examples translated from existing delphi plugins. Of course, you need a java developer kit (jdk 1.5 or higher) to be able to compile java programs.

Here is a set of 41 plugins already translated from delphi to java :

To create a set of plugins for yourself, you will need to create a class that derives from org.apophysis.Variation. Next package it in a jar, and then place it in the plugins directory. This directory can be found here:

The jar file is to be copied into the plugin directory: Under windows %HOMEPATH%.apophysis-j\plugins\apophysis Under linux and mac $HOME/.apophysis/plugins/apophysis

Apophysis-J will automatically pick these classes up and include them with the rest of the built in Variations.
