<p>Description of the Pro Motion (v3.0+) Plugin Interface</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>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.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>For further information on how to program a DDE conversation please have a look at <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/dataxchg/dynamic-data-exchange" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Microsoft’s development documentations</a>.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Also you may have a look at the file <code>dde_c.txt</code>.
It was created by a plugin developer and should help you to get your plugins programmed under C language (Thanks to Thiadmer Riemersma).</p>
</div>
</div>

<h2 id="_starting_a_dde_conversation"><a class="anchor" href="#_starting_a_dde_conversation"></a>Starting a DDE-Conversation:</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>When creating a link to the DDE-server of Pro Motion the DDE-client must use <code>"pmotion"</code> as DDE-SERVICE (it’s simply the name of the server-application), <code>"ImageServer"</code> as DDE-TOPIC and <code>"ImageServerItem"</code> as DDE-ITEM.
The host application must be running BEFORE a conversation is started!</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_executing_dde_macros"><a class="anchor" href="#_executing_dde_macros"></a>Executing DDE-Macros</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Pro Motion has a couple of commands (see <a href="#_commands">end of this file</a>) which can be executed by the DDE-client.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Each command must be sent to the DDE-server as a <strong>zero terminated string</strong>.
After the command is executed by the server a result string is sent from server to client containing informations about success or failure.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If the client requests image data, the image is copied to the Windows Clipboard as a DIB (Device Independent Bitmap) BEFORE the result string is sent to the client.
A DIB in a clipboard is simply a handle to a global memory object containing the DIB data.
AFTER the result string is received by the client the image can be taken out of the clipboard (only if the result contains success info).</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>If the client wants to send image data to the host application it must copy the image to the clipboard (as a DIB) BEFORE sending the corresponding command to the server.
Only 8bit images (256 colors) are accepted!</p>
</div>

<h2 id="_installing_plugins"><a class="anchor" href="#_installing_plugins"></a>Installing Plugins</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Installing plugins for Pro Motion is quite simple.
Just ask the user for the directory where he installed Pro Motion or scan for it.
This directory must contain a file called <code>plugins.ini</code>.
In this file all plugins must be registered like this:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">

<h2 id="_plugin_test_application"><a class="anchor" href="#_plugin_test_application"></a>Plugin Test Application</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>As an example on how to use the plugin interface have a look at the <code>DDETEST.EXE</code> application.
This program was written using Borland Delphi 5.
You may run it separately after Pro Motion is started.
You don’t need to register it as a plugin in the <code>plugin.ini</code> file.</p>

<h2 id="_commands"><a class="anchor" href="#_commands"></a>Commands</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The following list shows all commands currently supported: A <<em>frame-index</em>> is used by the DDE-server to select a frame within the current project. <<em>frame-index</em>> is set to <code>"1"</code> by default.
This <<em>frame-index</em>> is virtual.
That means that Pro Motion does not switch to that frame!
If an unknown command is sent to the server or it has wrong syntax then the server replies with <code>"unhandled: C"</code> where <code>"C"</code> is the invalid command data.
When the string <code>"exit"</code> is sent from server to client the client must close the DDE-connection and must terminate.</p>
