About this Document
This document is intended for beginners, like myself, who never studied
programming
but need to use software and get the most out of it. For those who would
like to
correct errors in this guide please contact Mark Vivino in the NIH Division
of Computer
Research and Technology. My email is (mvivino@helix.nih.gov). If you are
like me, spending
your whole day writing a graphical user interface is not your way of make a
contribution
to the world. You might have an image processing application that needs
doing and don't want to figure out all the aspects of the Mac Toolbox (or
Windows or Motif).
You can build your image processing application into the NIH Image program and save
yourself from a lot of wasted effort. Hopefully, this manual may help you
on your
route whether simple (macro) or complex (pascal). Having freely available
and modifiable
source code is not seen often with most commercial packages. This guide
updated 12/28/94,
current to Image version 1.56.
