Rappa Plugin Development Kit
WARNING:
The rappa API is currently out of date. If you are interested in writing
rappa transitions or effects, drop me some
some mail
I'm not sure if anyone is interested enough to do this, but I have now
completed the api for the rappa plugin. You can download the
rappa API kit here. It contains
- rappa.svp - a copy of the plugin. This
doesn't include the already written effects plugins that come standard
with the system. For that, download the full plugin
zip file, and make sure all the files are unziped
in the one location under the sonique vis directory.
- rappa.txt - information about rappa and how to
write plugins for it.
- rappapi.h - the C/C++ include file that defines
the API. Updated 17th November, 1999
- sample.cpp - the C++ source for a sample rappa
plugin.
- sample.rep - the compiled sample.cpp rappa plugin.
Have a play, mail me with any
questions or problems.
Standard Rappa Plugins
These are the rappa plugins that come standard when you download the
full plugin zip file. They are available individually here if case of
updates.

Additional Rappa Plugins
These are the rappa plugins that aren't available in the main zip file.
While there are currently not many, I'm hoping that some other people may
write some and send them to me so I can put them up. In the mean time,
I'll put up any new effects I write. Enjoy.
