What is ShotGraph
In the June, 1997 the first version of ShotGraph was released. The primary goal was optimization and extension
of image processing methods for online job. The software was designed as a COM application for
supporting image manipulations in other applications.
Choosing to install ShotGraph onto your server or desktop computer, you choose more than five
years of continuous experience in practical realization of fast image processing methods.
ShotGraph is a COM automation server (COM component) that expands capabilities
of script engines installed on your Win32 machine:
ShotGraph
gives them ability to create new images on the fly and handle existing ones. ShotGraph is
a powerful add-on for your scripts and binary applications.
You can use ShotGraph with such scripting
systems as Windows Scripting Host (.vbs, vbscript), Visual Basic, VBA, ASP, Perl for Windows and others. ShotGraph
lets you create images having content defined by your scripts/applications on the fly.
If you are a Web application developer, ShotGraph will give additional power to your Internet and intranet applications. The main
advantage is the fact that Web client needn't to install and run additional software.
