NAME
     dmPMCreateManager, dmPMDestroyManager - create and destroy special
     effects plugin-manager


SYNOPSIS
     #include <dmedia/fxpluginmgr.h>

     DMplugmgr* dmPMCreateManager
           ( Widget parent )

     void dmPMDestroyManager
           ( DMplugmgr* manager )


PARAMETERS
     parent    The parent widget to use if the plugin requires a GUI; can be
               NULL.

     manager   A pointer to a DMplugmgr, which was returned from
               dmPMCreateManager.


DESCRIPTION
     dmPMCreateManager creates a special effects plugin-manager.  It allocates
     and manages a list of plugins that applications can use.

     If the application does not have a widget, then passing in NULL allows
     the plugin-manager to create a widget if necessary (i.e. if any of the
     plugins require a GUI).

     dmPMDestroyManager destroys the special effects plugin-manager, and frees
     all the plugins that were initialized by the plugin-manager.


RETURN VALUES
     dmPMCreateManager will return a pointer to a DMplugmgr if successful, or
     will return NULL if it failed.
