Working with the API

Imagenation can be customized in many different ways. Using the API to customize it requires knowledge of a programming language such as C or Visual Basic. Customizing it through the INI file requires no special knowledge.

Certain options can be set through both an API integration and an INI file setting. If an option has been set through an API integration, it overrides the INI setting. The following INI settings can be affected this way:

[API]

· Notify Hotspot Units

· Notify Mouse Units

[File]

· Disable ReadOnly Mods

• Document Dir

· Mail Document Format

• Symbol Dir
