DDE Plugin Interface
pro motion contains an easy to use plugin interface.
The basic idea of this interface is to exchange image/animation data between the host application
(pro motion) and external programs (plugins).
Data is exchanged using the Windows DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange). pro motion contains a DDE-server
and a plugin works as a DDE client sending command strings. For further information on how to
program a DDE conversation please have a look at a href="http://www.microsoft.com">Microsoft's development documentations.
The plugin interface description contains a complete documentation about
plugin commands and how they have to be used.
A sample application is also included showing the use of all commands. This program was developed
with Borland Delphi.
If you have any questions concerning the interface please send an e-mail to
Jan Zimmermann
A third party plugin is available at the ITB
CompuPhase pages. It allows you to save your animations with an extended Autodesk FLC file format
supporting better compression rates and sound.
