Extensions
Extensions provide a mechanism to write custom code that interacts with the viewer. Each extension should register itself with an extension manager, providing a unique string ID which is then used to load or unload the extension during runtime.
Core Extensions
While it is easy to create your own extension, the viewer already provides several extensions you can use in your own implementations. The following table provides a short description of each core extension, together with its ID.
