Starting the Smallworld Snap Dragon Plugin
The Snap Dragon plugin can be added to your application and started from a toolbar menu as per many standard Smallworld plugins. An example plugin configuration for the Smallworld Cambridge Database is provided in the product installation folder. Depending how you installed Data Dragon (which includes Snap Dragon), this would typically be in:
- C:\Program Files (x86)\DataDragon\bin\smallworldmodules\SnapDragon\ examples\cam_db_swaf_professional_application
It is important that you set the DATA_DRAGON environment variable accessible in Smallworld to the location of the Data Dragon bin directory. Depending how you installed Data Dragon (which includes Snap Dragon), this would typically be in:
- C:\Program Files (x86)\DataDragon\bin
Alternatively you can start Snap Dragon from the Magik prompt with the following commands after you have started your Smallworld application (activating in the Cambridge DB Swaf Professional application in this example):
system.putenv("DATA_DRAGON","C:\Program Files (x86)\DataDragon\bin")
sd_module_dir << "C:\Program Files (x86)\DataDragon\bin\SmallworldSource\SnapDragon\modules\snap_dragon_plugin"
sw_module_manager.load_standalone_module_definition( sd_module_dir)
sw_module_manager.load_module(:snap_dragon_plugin)
sne << snap_dragon_plugin_framework.new("Snap Dragon", smallworld_product.application(:cam_db_swaf_professional))
sne.activate()
You should then see the Snap Dragon dialog as follows:
