Developer’s Guide

Porcupine is designed to be largely agnostic about the package for which you are programming. Here it is important that all functions within the package behave consistently and have a standard way of dealing with input and output arguments. If it does that, it should be possible to define a way of transforming your nodes into code for Python, MATLAB, bash or your own weapon of choice. It will however require some small amount of C++ programming. We here eplain how you can easily write your own code generator. The process consists of three parts:

• Creating a new generator .cpp and .hpp file.
• Registering the code in the main application
• If you want, add syntax highligthing for the code

In the next sections, we will walk you through this process.
