Add-ons

Add-ons are helpful scripts which are not part of the main ClickPoints program, but can be loaded on demand to do some evaluation task.

They can be loaded by clicking on and selecting the add-on from the list. ClickPoints already comes with a couple of add-ons, but it is easy to add your own or extend existing ones.

Each add-on will be assigned to a key from F12 downwards (F12, F11, F10 and so on) and a button will appear for each add-on next to . Hitting the key or pressing the button will start the run function of the add-on in a separate thread, or tell the thread to stop if it is already running.

To configure ClickPoints to already have scripts loaded on startup, you can define them in the ConfigClickPoints.txt file as launch_scripts =.

For writing your own add-ons please refer to the Add-on API.
