Introduction

Welcome to the ImageMan DLL Suite, the original imaging library for Windows developers.

This manual is your guide to ImageMan. In it you will find a tutorial explaining ImageMan's API and a reference explaining in detail the functions contained in the ImageMan library. Examples are included showing you how to access ImageMan from C or C++. If your not using C or C++, there should be enough information in the manual for you to see how to call ImageMan from your particular environment.
