Component Explanation

[lloydwood]

Hello,

I'm trying to write a structure plugin using the StandardStructure from the API as a guide. It talks about different types of component which I can't find any mention of in the docs. Can somebody point me in the right direction or explain this to me please?

Thanks

Hi,

A Component entity can be either a Component, FileComponent, ContainerComponent or SequenceComponent. Typically, FileComponent or SequenceComponent.

A file component represents a single file, while a sequence component represents multiple files in an image sequence. To publish a sequence component, you can use the connect publisher and a select a sequence of files which share a common base name and have an incremental number suffix.

A sequence component is a type of a container component. A container component will contain members, which is a collection of components which make up the component.
