Programming a Toolbox

The Toolbox is a way to add extra functionality to STx. Toolbox functions are programmed for specific contexts in STx (e.g. for the Workspace or for the Sectioner in Spectrogram & Parameters Viewer). See the Toolbox Functions entry in the Programmer Guide if you want to know how to programme Toolbox functions.

Toolbox functions are stored for convenience's sake in the folder Toolbox in the install directory in files with the extension sts.

The Toolbox functionality requires STx version 3.6.0 and newer.

Toolbox Functions

Toolbox functions can be used to provide extra context-dependent functionality in STx. See the User Guide for details about calling Toolbox functions from the STx GUI. If you want to program a Toolbox function, please read the following two articles:

• Toolbox Function Definition
• Toolbox Function Implementation

The Toolbox function ExportSegmentsToSoundfiles has been included as an example of a Toolbox function.

Pre-installed Toolboxes

A list of toolboxes installed by default in STx can be found in the User Guide.
