Starting a new program from scratch is the most difficult thing about programming. Even with a very good documented programming manual the first application is the most difficult. That is why some commonly used functions that have been tested over the years are put in this snippets section. The snippets are ANSI C snippets. Also the functions from the Opticon C-Library are clickable to get more information about the specific function. The functions in this snippets section have all a small example on how to use the functions. All sources are also included.
