Ignition Programming: Packaging an external library as a module
http://ignitionprogramming.blogspot.com/2011/05/packaging-external-library-as-module.html
Thursday, May 26, 2011. Packaging an external library as a module. As I've been working with programming modules for Ignition, I've needed to use certain libraries along with my projects. One way to do this: simply include the library's jars in your .modl file, and include them in your module.xml. This will make the library accessible for your module's classes' classloader. What if the library is very large, though? The solution I came up with was to package the library in its own module. Modules module ...

Nick Mudge Ignition Software Consulting and Development. This is a guest post from Chris Powell. Recently, Inductive Automation added a new table to their list of components. The name 'Power Table' is not understated. I want to share a few of the features I have found for some of the non-programming background developers out there. Since the release of Ignition V7.7, Inductive Automation has added Extension Functions. I use this feature to highlight each individual cell on each row based on the row's val...

Ignition Programming: Adding Scripting Functions
http://ignitionprogramming.blogspot.com/2011/07/adding-scripting-functions.html
Wednesday, July 6, 2011. So, you have a handy method available in one of your Java classes, and you wish you could use it in your jython script? The full list of items that are available from Python 2.5 are available here: http:/ docs.python.org/release/2.5/modindex.html. In your designer hook class, just add the following code:. Override public void initializeScriptManager(ScriptManager manager) { manager.addScriptModule("playground.math", java.lang.Math.class); }. And voila, we have full access! And th...

Ignition Programming: August 2011
http://ignitionprogramming.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 1, 2011. Exploration of 3d APIs In Java (As of August 2011). This is definitely the new kid on the block. JavaFX seems to think of itself as a superset of what Flash / Silverlight can do. You can code in pure java, and import your existing java business logic into JavaFX applications. It does run its own rendering, so you could see it as an alternative to Swing / AWT. Which brings me to. Special thanks to Erlend Sogge Heggen for corrections on the jMonkeyEngine information above. I hope th...
