Starting the Imagenation program

 

Before your client application can use Imagenation, you must start the program. On the Windows operating system, you can start Imagenation in different display modes.

To start Imagenation for Windows:

· Use the IN_StartImagenation function. For a list of the possible display options, click Display values.

The function starts Imagenation. It displays the Imagenation window according to the specified value. Note that IN_StartImagenation locks Imagenation in memory for you, but it is still a good idea to call IN_LockImagenation separately if you want to run Imagenation hidden.

To start Imagenation for UNIX:

· Use the IN_StartUnixIMAGEnation function.

In this release, IN_StartUnixIMAGEnation will start the program based on the path name provided, and then connect the client library to Imagenation.

You can also request whether a session of Imagenation is currently running by using the IN_IsImagenationRunning function.
