Users who know how to program in Java can write a plug-in program that adds support for a new file format, creates a new view, or applies a new algorithm to an image. This chapter does not intended to explain how to write a Java program; rather it presents information to help users who are writing plug-in programs to customize MIPAV. You can find in this chapter how to:

Gain access to and use the online MIPAV application programming interface (API) documentation
Determine which version of Java to use
Select one of the three plug-in types
Include mandatory lines of code in plug-in programs so that they interface correctly with MIPAV
Install plug-in programs
