Creating a visualizer plug-in

Because the visualizer is a Page Designer plug-in, you will develop the visualizer in a plug-in project.

To create a plug-in project.

1. Select File > New > Project from the menu. The New Project wizard page appears.

2. Select Plug-in Development > Plug-in Project > Next. The "New Plug-in Project" page is displayed.

3. Enter a project name and click Next. The "New Plug-in Project - Plug-in Project Structure" page appears.

4. Click Next. The "New Plug-in Project - Plug-in Code Generators" page appears.

5. Select Create a blank plug-in project, name the project, and click Finish.

You are now ready to update the plugin.xml file for the VCT.
