5.15. Steps in construction of the example module

The example module chosen to illustrate the process of SALOME module development is extremely simple. The module contains a single component and this component provides a single service called makeBanner that accepts a character string as the sole argument and that returns a character string obtained by the concatenation of a ‘SMITER’ and the input string. The component also provides a simple GUI.

The steps in the development are as follows:

• create a module tree structure
• create a SALOME component that can be loaded by a Python SALOME container
• configure the module so that the component is known to SALOME
• add a graphic GUI
