Description

The ImagePlugin class is the base class for all image import plugins and image export plugins. An image import plugin contains the functionality needed to read a 2D pixel image from a resource file in a specific format. An image export plugin performs the opposite function and writes a 2D pixel image to a resource file. One or both of these types of plugin classes can be defined in a plugin module and registered with the Plugin Manager using the PluginMgr::RegisterImageImportPlugin and PluginMgr::RegisterImageExportPlugin functions.

An implementation of an ImagePlugin subclass must override all of its pure virtual member functions.
