MatterControl uses plugins to add features and functionality. Below is some documentation about creating your own plugins for MatterControl.

Each plugin inherits from MatterControlPlugin and implements the two functions from the interface

public override void Initialize(GuiWidget application)
public override string GetPuginInfoJSon()

Currently GetPluginInfoJSon has the following defined

Field: "Name" - Example: "Name Creator"
Field: "UUID" - Example "xxx06000-66c3-11e3-949a-0800200c9a66"
Field: "About" - Example: "A Creator that allows you to type in text"
Field: "Developer" - Example: "MatterHackers, Inc."
Field: "URL" - Example: "https://www.matterhackers.com\"
