[OpendTect_Developers] Processing PreStack Data

Before you start doing all sorts of things directly in the code, I'd 
first consider using two engines that are already in place: the 
pre-stack processing module under Processing-Create seismic 
output-Presatck processing (code in uiPreStackProcessing and 
PreStackProcessing), and the Madagascar connection (plugins uiMadagascar 
and Madagascar)

Yes it's interesting to not do anything in OpendTect, but use Madagascar 
instead. Do all your processing there and go in and out of OpendTect 
using the Madagascar connection plugin. There is even a special tutorial 
for Madagascar processing plugins (uiTutMadagascar).

If you do want to work with Pre-stack data in your own plugin, you 
should really go with the PreStack processing engine. You can make your 
own stuff and plug it into OpendTect.
