Detailed Description

An Extension is the base for classes that extend Krita. An Extension is loaded on startup, when the setup() method will be executed.

The extension instance should be added to the Krita Application object using Krita.instance().addViewExtension or Application.addViewExtension or Scripter.addViewExtension.

Example:

import sys
from PyQt5.QtGui import *
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
from krita import *
class HelloExtension(Extension):
 
def __init__(self, parent):
    super().__init__(parent)
 
def hello(self):
    QMessageBox.information(QWidget(), "Test", "Hello! This is Krita " + Application.version())
 
def setup(self):
    qDebug("Hello Setup")
 
def createActions(self, window)
    action = window.createAction("hello")
    action.triggered.connect(self.hello)
 
Scripter.addExtension(HelloExtension(Krita.instance()))
