 */

/** @mainpage
 *
 * interface to the barcode reader is available at several levels.
 * most applications will want to use the high-level interfaces:
 *
 * @section high-level High-Level Interfaces
 *
 * these interfaces wrap all library functionality into an easy-to-use
 * package for a specific toolkit:
 * - the "GTK+ 2.x widget" may be used with GTK GUI applications.  a
 *   Python wrapper is included for PyGtk
 * - the @ref zbar::QZBar "Qt4 widget" may be used with Qt GUI
 *   applications
 * - the Processor interface (in @ref c-processor "C" or @ref
 *   zbar::Processor "C++") adds a scanning window to an application
 *   with no GUI.
 *
 * @section mid-level Intermediate Interfaces
 *
 * building blocks used to construct high-level interfaces:
 * - the ImageScanner (in @ref c-imagescanner "C" or @ref
 *   zbar::ImageScanner "C++") looks for barcodes in a library defined
 *   image object
 * - the Window abstraction (in @ref c-window "C" or @ref
 *   zbar::Window "C++") sinks library images, displaying them on the
 *   platform display
 * - the Video abstraction (in @ref c-video "C" or @ref zbar::Video
 *   "C++") sources library images from a video device
 *
 * @section low-level Low-Level Interfaces
 *
 * direct interaction with barcode scanning and decoding:
 * - the Scanner (in @ref c-scanner "C" or @ref zbar::Scanner "C++")
 *   looks for barcodes in a linear intensity sample stream
 * - the Decoder (in @ref c-decoder "C" or @ref zbar::Decoder "C++")
 *   extracts barcodes from a stream of bar and space widths
