Crazy Eddie's GUI System Mk-2: Developer Documentation

http://www.cegui.org.uk

Copyright (c) 2004 - 2013 Paul D Turner & The CEGUI Development Team

This is Crazy Eddie's GUI System Mk-2; a free library providing windowing and widgets for graphics APIs and engines where such functionality is not natively available or is severely lacking. The library is written in C++, is object orientated, and is primarily targeted at games developers who should be spending their time creating great games, not building GUI sub-systems...

Note: In various documentation and online, the system is additionally referred to as both CEGUI (which is the main namespace name), and cegui_mk2 (which was the CVS module name of the Mk2 version of the system, and is now the mercurial repository name for this part of the system).
