          HOW TO INSTALL AND RUN THE AUTO-PRO DEMO PROGRAMS
                          MARCH 15, 1994
================================================================

This disk contains several example applications that have been 
created using Auto-Pro (the Image-Pro scripting facility) and 
Visual Basic and Visual C++.  These sample programs can be run 
even if you do not have Visual Basic or Visual C++ on your 
system.  

This disk also contains the files you will need if you plan to 
use Auto-Pro with your own Visual Basic and Visual C++ programs 
(see your Auto-Pro manual for the specific files and procedures 
required), along with numerous source and project files, which 
you can use as a guide when developing your own applications.

================================================================      
                         VISUAL BASIC
================================================================      

To run the Visual Basic demonstration programs:

   1.  Copy the VBRUN300.DLL and the CMDIALOG.VBX files from
       the \IPVBDEMO directory on this disk to the
       \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory on your system (you may,
       alternatively, copy these files to their own directory
       and include the name of that directory in your PATH
       statement).

   2.  Copy the image files from Installation Disk #6 to your
       \IPWIN\IMAGES directory.

   3.  Load Image-Pro.

   4.  From the File Manager, double-click any of the example
       program files (i.e., DEMO.EXE, SURFPROF.EXE or 
       TOOLBAR.EXE) located in the \IPVBDEMO directory on this 
       disk.

          DEMO.EXE - shows you how multi-step imaging 
            processes can be automated.  This example 
            provides FFT, Image  Enhancement and 
            Fingerprint Analysis control buttons in its
            dialog box.

          SURFPROF.EXE - shows you how data from an Image-Pro
            operation can be obtained and used as input to a
            Visual Basic operation.  In this example, Line 
            Profile data is used to produce a surface profile 
            of the pixel values in an AOI.

          TOOLBAR.EXE - shows you how a custom toolbar can be 
            added to Image-Pro.
               
If you would prefer, these programs can be copied to your hard 
disk and run from there.

*  This demo assumes that Image-Pro has been installed into   * 
*  C:\IPWIN.  If your copy of Image-Pro is not located in     *  
*  this directory (or drive), you will need to correct all    * 
*  references to "C:\IPWIN" in the supplied source code,      *
*  and recompile the application.  You will need Visual       *
*  Basic 3.0 to do this.                                      *

The Visual Basic source files -- i.e., the project file, the 
form file, and the procedure modules -- that were used to create 
these sample applications are also located in the \IPVBDEMO 
directory.  These files have been supplied for you to use as a 
guide during the development of your own Visual Basic programs 
(you must have Visual Basic in order to view these files).  You 
may want to consider copying sections of source code from these 
examples, and simply modifying them to suit your needs.

The \IPVBDEMO directory also contains the IPC.BAS file, which 
must be included in the project file of any Visual Basic program 
that utilizes Auto-Pro.  See your Auto-Pro manual for details .  

================================================================
                         VISUAL C++
================================================================      

To run the Visual C++ demonstration program:

   1.  Load Image-Pro.

   2.  Copy the image files from Installation Disk #6 to your
       \IPWIN\IMAGES directory.

   3.  From the File Manager, double-click the example
       program file, IPWVC.EXE.  This program demonstrates
       the automation of several multi-step imaging processes.

       Once the IPWVC application window opens, select the 
       "Show Demo" command from the "Demo" menu.  This will 
       give you a dialog box containing a button for each 
       of the automated processes.  Clicking the button runs 
       the process.

If you would prefer, this program can be copied to your hard 
disk and run from there.

The Visual C++ source files that were used to create these 
sample applications are also located in the \IPWVC directory.  
These files were developed with AppWizard.  If you want to 
recompile these programs, some modifications of the directory 
options may be necessary.

These files have been supplied for you to use as a guide during 
the development of your own Visual C++ programs.  You may want 
to consider copying sections of source code from these examples, 
and simply modifying them to suit your needs.  

The \IPWVC directory also contains the IPC.H and IPC.LIB files, 
which must be included in any Visual C++ program that utilizes 
Auto-Pro.  See your Auto-Pro manual for details .
