Foundational libraries, components, and tools of the Plasma workspaces

Introduction

The plasma framework provides the following:

• QML components
• A C++ library: libplasma
• Script engines

QML components

org.kde.plasma.core

Bindings for libplasma functionality, such FrameSvg, see @ref core.

org.kde.plasma.components

Graphical components for common items such as buttons, lineedits, tabbars and so on. Compatible subset of the MeeGo components used on the N9, see @ref plasmacomponents.

org.kde.plasma.extras

Extra graphical components that extend org.kde.plasma.components but are not in the standard api, see @ref plasmaextracomponents.

org.kde.plasma.plasmoid

Attached properties for manipulating the current applet or containment, see @ref libplasmaquick

libplasma

This C++ library provides:

• rendering of SVG themes
• loading of files from a certain filesystem structure: packages
• data access through data engines
• loading of the plugin structure of the workspace: containments and applets
