Welcome to the Scipion Developers Page!!!
In this page you will find documentation about the Scipion architecture and how you can easily extend Scipion with new functionality.
If you are completely new to the Scipion framework, we recommend to start with our Introduction to Scipion Developers
Architecture. The "big picture" of the Scipion architecture: which are the building blocks and their interactions.
What has been done in each release.
In Scipion a Protocol is defined as a processing task that involves the execution of several steps. Each step can execute Python code or call external programs to perform specific sub-tasks. By designing a new protocol, the developer defines clearly its inputs and outputs, implements the processing steps and takes care of needed conversions.
To know more details, read the page Creating a Protocol
Most of the graphic user interfaces (GUIs) for Scipion have been developed in Java, extending Xmipp ShowJ and Particle Picker * link: Scipion-Java[Desktop development].
