VEGA – An open platform to develop chemo-bio-informatics applications,
using plug-in architecture and script programming / A. Pedretti, L. Villa, G. Vistoli. - In: JOURNAL OF COMPUTER-AIDED MOLECULAR DESIGN. - ISSN 0920-654X. - 18:3(2004), pp. 167-173.
Abstract:
In this paper we present the expandability and flexibility features of the VEGA program (downloadable free of charge at http://www.ddl.unimi.it), for the development of custom applications, using it as a multipurpose graphical
environment. VEGA can be customized using both plug-in architecture and script programming. The first is useful
to add new features and functions, using homemade routines, written with the VEGA Plug-in Development Kit
(SDK). With the second approach it is possible to design scripts in VEGA, using the REBOL language, in order
to (1) add new functions or customize existing ones; (2) automate common procedures; and (3) allow network
communications, by creating a bridge between VEGA and other applications (or other PCs) through the TCP/IP
protocol.
