Developer documentation

 

Writing native sweep plugins

Read the Plugin Writers Guide to find out how to write a Sweep plugin.

This document also contains some of the information on Sweep's internals needed for hacking on the application itself.

Writing LADSPA plugins

If you intend to write plugins which only modify audio data, you are encouraged to use the Linux Audio Developer's Simple Plugin API (LADSPA) instead of writing a native Sweep plugin. See the LADSPA documentation, including the self-documenting header file ladspa.h for more details.

Translating Sweep into other languages

Sweep uses GNU gettext to make application messages available for translation into multiple languages. Please read the GNU gettext manual for more information on creating or updating a translation. When you have done this, please send the resulting .po file to sweep-devel at lists.sourceforge.net.

Translations of Sweep documentation are also welcome!
