QuickStartGuide_VS2010

Here are the brief instructions on how to quick start using NativeViewer under Visual Studio 2010:

• Download and install the latest NativeViewer VSIX package. Or get it directly from the Visual Studio Gallery.

• Start Visual Studio 2010, go to Tools -> Options... -> NativeViewer -> Integration and follow instructions listed on that page. This step should be done again if you update to the newer version of NativeViewer. Note! This step requires Visual Studio to have Administrator privileges.

• Open your native C++ project, start debugging. Chose a variable of cv::Mat type storing 2-D matrix with CV_TYPE equal to CV_8UC1 or CV_8UC3. Hold down the CTRL key, and hover a mouse over the variable in the code editor window.

• Enjoy the thumbnail image.

• Adjust the settings under Tools -> Options... -> NativeViewer -> General to optimize your usage experience. The settings are applied immediately, you don't even have to restart you current debug session.
