  1. The purpose of the program.

     ImgX is an ActiveX DLL that allows you to add powerful image manipulation 
to your Visual Basic application.  Simply add a reference to the DLL and your 
application will be able to easily read and write various bitmap image formats.  
It will also be able to grab image data from other sources such as the clipboard, 
device contexts, device independant bitmaps and screen captures.  Once the image 
is in memory, it will be able to perform various effects including resizing, 
rotation, embossing, mosaic and many others.

     ImgX is simple to use.  It was designed with Visual Basic in mind.  Simply 
create an instance of the ImgX class and call it's methods.  Each ImgX object 
holds one image along with all of it's undo information, if undos are enabled.  
Call the OpenImage method to read an image file.  Call Resize to resize the 
image, or Blur to blur it, etc.  Display it on a picturebox or form by reading 
the Picture property.  It's that simple!

ImgX Supports JPG, PNG, PCX, TIF, TIFF, TGA, GIF, BMP, EMF and WMF.
