 @page page_libs Libraries list

 wxWidgets can be built either as a single large
 library (this is called the <em>monolithic build</em>) or as several smaller
 libraries (<em>multilib build</em>}). Multilib build is the default.

 wxWidgets library is divided into libraries briefly described below. This
 diagram show dependencies between them:

 Please note that arrows indicate the "depends from" relation and that
 all blue boxes depend from @ref page_libs_wxbase library (i.e. they are non-GUI libraries),
 and all green boxes depend from @ref page_libs_wxcore library (i.e. they are GUI libraries).


 <!--
    IMPORTANT: the @sections below don't have the page_libraries_ prefix because
               all API pages link to them and using that prefix all times would
               make the 
 -->


 @section page_libs_wxbase wxBase

 Every wxWidgets application must link against this library. It contains
 mandatory classes that any wxWidgets code depends on (e.g. wxString) and
 portability classes that abstract differences between platforms.
 wxBase can be used to develop console mode applications,
 it does not require any GUI libraries or running X Window System on Unix.


 @section page_libs_wxcore wxCore

 Basic GUI classes such as GDI classes or controls are in this library. All
 wxWidgets GUI applications must link against this library, only console mode
 applications don't.

 Requires @ref page_libs_wxbase.


 @section page_libs_wxaui wxAui

 This contains the Advanced User Interface docking library.

 Requires @ref page_libs_wxadv, @ref page_libs_wxhtml, @ref page_libs_wxxml, 
 @ref page_libs_wxcore, @ref page_libs_wxbase.


 @section page_libs_wxnet wxNet

 Classes for network access:

 @li wxSocket classes (wxSocketClient, wxSocketServer and related classes)
 @li wxSocketOutputStream and wxSocketInputStream
 @li sockets-based IPC classes (wxTCPServer, wxTCPClient and wxTCPConnection)
 @li wxURL
 @li wxInternetFSHandler (a wxFileSystem handler)

 Requires @ref page_libs_wxbase.


 @section page_libs_wxrichtext wxRichText

 This contains generic rich text control functionality.

 Requires @ref page_libs_wxadv, @ref page_libs_wxhtml, @ref page_libs_wxxml, 
 @ref page_libs_wxcore, @ref page_libs_wxbase.


 @section page_libs_wxxml wxXML

 This library contains simple classes for parsing XML documents.

 Requires @ref page_libs_wxbase.


 @section page_libs_wxadv wxAdvanced

 Advanced or rarely used GUI classes:

 @li wxCalendarCtrl
 @li wxGrid classes
 @li wxJoystick
 @li wxLayoutAlgorithm
 @li wxSplashScreen
 @li wxTaskBarIcon
 @li wxSound
 @li wxWizard
 @li wxSashLayoutWindow
 @li wxSashWindow
 @li ...others

 Requires @ref page_libs_wxcore and @ref page_libs_wxbase.


 @section page_libs_wxmedia wxMedia

 Miscellaneous classes related to multimedia. Currently this library only
 contains wxMediaCtrl but more classes will be added in
 the future.

 Requires @ref page_libs_wxcore and @ref page_libs_wxbase.


 @section page_libs_wxgl wxGL

 This library contains wxGLCanvas class for integrating
 OpenGL library with wxWidgets. Unlike all others, this library is {\em not}
 part of the monolithic library, it is always built as separate library.

 Requires @ref page_libs_wxcore and @ref page_libs_wxbase.


 @section page_libs_wxhtml wxHTML

 Simple HTML renderer and other @ref html_overview are contained in this library, 
 as well as wxHtmlHelpController, wxBestHelpController and wxHtmlListBox.

 Requires @ref page_libs_wxcore and @ref page_libs_wxbase.


 @section page_libs_wxqa wxQA

 This is the library containing extra classes for quality assurance. Currently
 it only contains wxDebugReport and related classes,
 but more will be added to it in the future.

 Requires @ref page_libs_wxxml, @ref page_libs_wxcore, @ref page_libs_wxbase.


 @section page_libs_wxxrc wxXRC

 This library contains wxXmlResource class that
 provides access to XML resource files in XRC format.

 Requires @ref page_libs_wxadv, @ref page_libs_wxhtml, @ref page_libs_wxxml, 
 @ref page_libs_wxcore, @ref page_libs_wxbase.


 @section page_libs_wxstc wxSTC

 STC (Styled Text Control) is a wrapper around Scintilla, a syntax-highlighting text editor.
 See http://www.scintilla.org for more info about Scintilla.

 Requires @ref page_libs_wxcore, @ref page_libs_wxbase.
