///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // Name: libs.h // Purpose: Libraries page of the Doxygen manual // Author: wxWidgets team // RCS-ID: $Id$ // Licence: wxWindows license ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /*! @page libraries_page Libraries list wxWidgets can be built either as a single large library (this is called the {\it monolithic build}) or as several smaller libraries ({\it multilib build}). Multilib build is the default. wxWidgets library is divided into libraries briefly described below. This diagram show dependencies between them: @image html libs.gif Please note that arrows indicate the "depends from" relation and that all blue boxes depend from wxBase library (i.e. they are non-GUI libraries), and all green boxes depend from wxCore library (i.e. they are GUI libraries). @section wxBase wxBase Every wxWidgets application must link against this library. It contains mandatory classes that any wxWidgets code depends on (e.g. \helpref{wxString}{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 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 wxBase. @section wxAui wxAui This contains the Advanced User Interface docking library. Requires wxAdvanced, wxHTML, wxXML, wxCore, wxBase. @section wxNet wxNet Classes for network access: \begin{itemize} \item{ wxSocket classes (\helpref{wxSocketClient}{wxsocketclient}, \helpref{wxSocketServer}{wxsocketserver} and related classes) } \item{ \helpref{wxSocketOutputStream}{wxsocketoutputstream} and \helpref{wxSocketInputStream}{wxsocketinputstream} } \item{ sockets-based IPC classes (\helpref{wxTCPServer}{wxddeserver}, \helpref{wxTCPClient}{wxddeclient} and \helpref{wxTCPConnection}{wxddeconnection}) } \item{ \helpref{wxURL}{wxurl} } \item{ wxInternetFSHandler (a \helpref{wxFileSystem handler}{fs}) } \end{itemize} Requires wxBase. @section wxRichText wxRichText This contains generic rich text control functionality. Requires wxAdvanced, wxHTML, wxXML, wxCore, wxBase. @section wxXML wxXML This library contains simple classes for parsing XML documents. Requires wxBase. @section wxAdvanced wxAdvanced Advanced or rarely used GUI classes: \begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt \item{ \helpref{wxCalendarCtrl}{wxcalendarctrl} } \item{ \helpref{wxGrid classes}{gridoverview} } \item{ \helpref{wxJoystick}{wxjoystick} } \item{ \helpref{wxLayoutAlgorithm}{wxlayoutalgorithm} } \item{ \helpref{wxSplashScreen}{wxsplashscreen} } \item{ \helpref{wxTaskBarIcon}{wxtaskbaricon} } \item{ \helpref{wxSound}{wxsound} } \item{ \helpref{wxWizard}{wxwizard} } \item{ \helpref{wxSashLayoutWindow}{wxsashlayoutwindow} } \item{ \helpref{wxSashWindow}{wxsashwindow} } \item{ ...others } \end{itemize} Requires wxCore and wxBase. @section wxMedia wxMedia Miscellaneous classes related to multimedia. Currently this library only contains \helpref{wxMediaCtrl}{wxmediactrl} but more classes will be added in the future. Requires wxCore and wxBase. @section wxGL wxGL This library contains \helpref{wxGLCanvas}{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 wxCore and wxBase. @section wxHTML wxHTML Simple HTML renderer and other \helpref{HTML rendering classes}{wxhtml} are contained in this library, as well as \helpref{wxHtmlHelpController}{wxhtmlhelpcontroller}, \helpref{wxBestHelpController}{wxhelpcontroller} and \helpref{wxHtmlListBox}{wxhtmllistbox}. Requires wxCore and wxBase. @section wxQA wxQA This is the library containing extra classes for quality assurance. Currently it only contains \helpref{wxDebugReport}{wxdebugreport} and related classes, but more will be added to it in the future. Requires wxXML, wxCore, wxBase. @section wxXRC wxXRC This library contains \helpref{wxXmlResource}{wxxmlresource} class that provides access to XML resource files in XRC format Requires wxAdvanced, wxHTML, wxXML, wxCore, wxBase. @section wxSTC wxSTC STC (Styled Text Control) is a wrapper around Scintilla, a syntax-highlighting text editor. Requires wxCore, wxBase. */
