The plugin interface and the plugin kit

This page applies to Harlequin v13.1r0 and later; and to Harlequin MultiRIP but not Harlequin Core

The plugin interface is a protocol for communication between the RIP and plugins. The interface, which is the subject of this manual, consists of a set of operations which a plugin must or may carry out, together with a set of data structures and other definitions describing information to be transmitted between the RIP and the plugin.

The plugin kit is the collection of source and object code, documentation (of which this manual forms a part), and examples, distributed by Global Graphics so that you can write, compile, and link plugins complying with the specification of the plugin interface.
