Plugins

The tangram platform can be extended with plugins to enhance its functionality. Plugins can be developed for both the frontend and the backend.

• Frontend plugins are Vue.js components that can be dynamically loaded into the web application

• Backend plugins are processes (e.g. in Python) that extend the backend functionality, and include data processing, analysis, and API endpoints

Examples of plugins:

• Map data receivers: display the sensors' positions on the map
• Wind fields: display the wind field on the map using weather prediction data
• Origin and destination city pair: display the origin and destination airports of flights
• Contrails: display the contrails on the map using weather prediction data
