The software distributed on the CD-ROM that comes with the book has been repackaged for more convenient use, as a pair of JAR files:
If you wish to use the library in your own image processing software, you only need iplib.jar; if you want to run the tools as well, you also need to download ipapps.jar.
To install the JAR files, simply place them in a directory of your
choosing and modify your CLASSPATH so that it includes the full pathname
of each file. To run a given tool, such as HistogramTool,
you simply enter something like
java HistogramTool image.png
at the shell prompt. Using this approach, the .bat files and shell scripts supplied on the CD-ROM are no longer required.
