11.1 - VR-Vantage Toolkit Libraries

VR-Vantage libraries are organized by dependencies.

The VR-Vantage Toolkituses strict naming conventions to indicate the dependency of the library. For example, vrvVrl is the VR-Link protocol-independent simulation library. It provides simulation specific but protocol-independent classes. The vrvVrlQt library provides simulation specific protocol-independent GUI classes. The vrvVrlQt library depends on vrvVrl. If you are developing an application that uses these classes and uses Qt, you can use both vrvVrl and vrvVrlQt libraries. The plug-in libraries are very small libraries, that usually have one or two functions with C language symbols. The plug-in libraries allow for runtime loading and initialization of VR-Vantage libraries. VR-Vantage applications arebuilt using all VR-Vantage libraries as plug-ins, for maximum flexibility and extensibility. vrvVrlPlugin is the plug-in library for the vrvVrl library. There is a corresponding vrvVrlQtPlugin library for the vrvVrlQt library.
