Play with DEMOs

There are two kinds of DEMOs in the LPV package:

  • MFC/C#/QT programs with GUI, providing user friendly graphics interface for interactive region manipulation, parameters' tuning and results' displacement. The executable binaries are located under the demo/require_platform folder, like demo/x64. The source codes as well as the project files are available in the individual project folder.
  • Simple C++/C# code snippets, demonstrating how some LPV functions are called. It's usually a main function body in one single source file under demo/snippet folder. For detailed usage, please refer to How to Use DEMO Code Snippets.

NOTE 1: The platform of DEMOs should be exactly the same as the LPV dlls you installed and registered.
NOTE 2: Please make sure the LPV dlls are registered and licensed before running the DEMOs.
NOTE 3: The out-of-box Qt DEMO executors are built with Qt5.9.4, you may install the same version from Qt's official website. Or, you may use our abridged package of only the necessary dependencies, just download(x86 or x64) then extract to the DEMO folder.
