OpenIGTLink/Approaches

Three ways to implement Open IGT Link in your application

Implement by yourself

• Writing applications in non-C or C++ language

Use simple C code

• The code provides C structures for the generic header, image header and transform header, and supporting functions to create a message packet.
• Suitable for applications written in C and C++
• You can just copy the files into your source directory. You never have any linking problems.

Use the Open IGT Link Library

• The library supports
  • Classes to create Open IGT Link message
  • TCP/IP Socket
  • Thread and Mutex useful to make server program
