ArrowsΒΆ

Arrows is the collection of plugins that provides implementations of the algorithms declared in Vital. Each arrow can be enabled or disabled in build process through CMake options. Most arrows bring in additional third-party dependencies and wrap the capabilities of those libraries to make them accessible through the Vital APIs. The code in Arrows also converts or wrap data types from these external libraries into Vital data types. This allows interchange of data between algorithms from different arrows using Vital types as the intermediary.

Capabilities are currently organized into Arrows based on what third party library they require. However, this arrangement is not required and may change as the number of algorithms and arrows grows. Some arrows, like core , require no additional dependencies. The provided Arrows are:
