Bannershop GIF Animator Extensions SDK
Extensions Overview
Bannershop Extensions are DLL executables in "extensions" folder of Bannershop GIF Animator (usually under "c:\program files\selteco\bannershop gif animator\extensions\"). Bannershop loads all extensions during its launch and adds animation effects to the "Intro" and "Outro Animation" dialog. Extensions must have .b5x file extension to be recognized and loaded by Bannershop GIF Animator.
How do they work?
Bannershop loads each extension one by one and queries it for its capabilities. The extension should return a list of effects it supports. Bannershop will call extension procedures to find out how the image should be animated.
The extension should render each frame of the animation effect. GIF animation runs at 10 frames / second. The image contains alpha data so the bitmap can merge with undelaying background.
Data format
Bannershop operates 32-bit DIBs (Device Independent Bitmap, 24 bits of RGB data + 8 bits of transparency). DIB is a format popular in Windows environment. Only very fundamental knowledge of DIB format is necessary to develop extensions. DIB fundamentals are explained in the SDK documentation.
