CVIPtools Library Functions

This document contains the most recent listing of all functions available to CVIPtools developers. The functions are grouped by class and library. There are two classes of libraries within CVIPtools -- Toolkit and Toolbox.

The Toolkit libraries contain low-level functions, such as data handling and memory management. The Toolbox libraries contain the functions that are typically used by CVIPlab programmers, such as transforms or segmentation routines. This organization is a hierarchical grouping of libraries in which each class successively builds upon the previous class by using the lower-level functions to create higher-level functions. For more detailed information on a particular function see the associated UNIX manual page.
