■ What is a plug-in?

The "SS SDK Graphic Tool" provides users with additional custom functions by calling a Win32-compliant DLL (Dynamic Link Library) as an external function.
This additional function is called a "plug-in", and the DLL that adds the function is called a "plug-in module".

By copying the plug-in module into the "PlugIn" folder in the same level as the "SSSDK Graphic Tools" executable file, you can use the additional functions of each module.

■ Plug-in function

There are two types of SSSDK plug-in modules for different purposes.

  1. "File I / O" module
    Inputs and / or outputs files.

  2. "Effects" module
    Apply effects such as filters to the display window.
