{{PrF_UG_TOC_intro}}<div id='prf_ug'>

{{#var:Pr}} includes an application programmer interface,
the {{#var:Pr}} API,
that allows a Java programmer to extend the {{#var:Pr}} system.
The API provides the Java packages and classes for complex operations such as creating new widgets:

<ul class='a'>
<li>
Tab widget - a user interface tab that appears in the main {{#var:Pr}} window alongside system tabs such as the Classes tab.
The Queries tab is an example of a tab-widget plug-in.


<li>
Slot widget - appears on a form and is used to view and acquire a value for a slot at an instance.
The TextFieldWidget,
used for acquiring and displaying strings,
is an example of a slot-widget plug-in.


<li>
Back-end - specifies the mechanism that {{#var:Pr}} will use for storage (either as text or in a database).
The RDF back-end is an example of a back-end plug-in.


<li>
Createproject - takes a file in a source format produced by another program and creates the closest possible "natural" {{#var:Pr}} knowledge-base.


<li>
Export - provides an extensible mechanism for exporting {{#var:Pr}} knowledge-bases in a variety of formats,
both file and database.
This plug-in type is related to back-end plug-ins,
but is much easier to develop and serves a somewhat different need.


<li>
Project - allows manipulation of a {{#var:Pr}} project and {{#var:Pr}}'s project UI.

</ul>

API documentation is available at:

[[PrF_UG_|http://protege.stanford.edu/doc/pdk/index.html]]

Starting with {{#var:Pr}} 3.2 beta,
you can programmatically add your own configuration tab to the project configuration panel.
The tab will also appear in the
[[PrF_UG_projects_configure_project|Configure]]
dialog box.
Instructions for this can be found on the {{#var:Pr}} Wiki at:

[[PrF_UG_|http://protege.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?AddingUserDefinedProjectConfigPanel]]
