Image Converter Library encoder/decoder plug-ins example</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

<section><title>Description</title> <p> <filepath>ICLCodec</filepath> demonstrates

how to implement encoder and decoder plug-ins for the Image Converter Library.

A decoder converts an image in a particular format into a <codeph>CFbsBitmap</codeph> object;

an encoder does the reverse. In the example, the Portable Network Graphics

(PNG) format is handled. </p> <p>The program is an ECom plug-in that implements: </p> <ul>

writer classes from <codeph>CPngWriteSubCodec</codeph>. </p> </section>
