## Detailed Description

API provided by libm17n-gui.so.

GUI support for a window system.

This section defines the m17n GUI API concerning M-text drawing and inputting under a window system.

All the definitions here are independent of window systems. An actual library file, however, can depend on a specific window system. For instance, the library file m17n-X.so is an example of implementation of the m17n GUI API for the X Window System.

Actually the GUI API is mainly for toolkit libraries or to implement XOM, not for direct use from application programs.
