Class MyPlugin

python/examples/update_analysis.py:24–38

Sample plugin that uses a BackgroundTaskThread to perform work. This prevents the UI from freezing while the plugin is running and allows the plugin to call update_analysis_and_wait. Note this is for a python plugin, so the steps detailed here apply: https://docs.binary.ninja/dev/plugi
