Adding Functionality

To add new functionality to Im2Learn the developer will need to implement the IM2LEARNMenu interface. This interface tells the Im2Learn system the names of the menus to be added to the mainframe. Once the plugin is added to an imagepanel the reference to this imagepanel is passed back to the plugin, allowing the plugin to get the ImageObject currently shown. To be able to add help to the central helpsystem of Im2Learn the plugin needs to implement the HelpEntry interface. Examples of the IM2LEARNMenu implementation and HelpEntry can be found in the next two sections. A full example of a plugin for Im2Learn can be found in Example Plugin.
