Several sample plug-ins are included with this SDK. These are meant to act as learning tools for developers. These are available in the "Samples" folder. There is at least one sample of each type.
Click images to view in full size.
The sample plug-ins are:
CX_Histogram |
When given a decodable image file as a selection, this sample plug-in displays a very basic RBG histogram of the file. Here is what happens in ACDSee when you select Tools | Create | Sample Show Histogram (the added menu command). |
ID_CreateView |
This sample plug-in illustrates how to use the CreateView functionality to render a custom view for .txt files in View mode. Here you can see a text document in View mode with the sample installed. |
IDE_MetadataBitmap |
This sample plug-in decodes and encodes a custom bitmap format with added metadata support. |
IF_Sample |
This sample plug-in contains multiple sample filters for Edit mode. These filters illustrate the use of all of the GUI (graphical user interface) elements, as well as the different mouse tools. Here you can see the filters that are added to the Custom Filters menu.
And here is what the sample Blur filter added looks like. |
