4 The libdvi2bitmap library

The main bulk of the code which implements dvi2bitmap is in a library, and the program itself is a rather thin wrapper on top of this. This library is intended to be usable for other applications.

The library is written in C++, and provides an abstraction of DVI files, PK font files, Bitmaps, and various other objects used to build these ones. By default, the build procedure creates both static and dynamic libraries.

The library API is extensively documented in the doc_libdvi2bitmap/ directory of the distribution.
