Three Approaches

Implement by yourself

Use simple C code (igtlutil)

  • 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++
  • If you just copy the source files into your source directory, you never have library link issue.

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
  • The library instruction is available on the Open IGT Link Library page.
