\section classes Classes

The classes available for libcaca are :

\li\b Caca::Canvas : functions that have a caca_canvas_t* as first argument
\li\b Caca::Dither : functions that have a caca_dither_t* as first argument
\li\b Caca::Font : functions that have a caca_font_t* as first argument
(The constructor can currently only accept the name of a builtin font)
\li\b Caca::Display
\li\b Caca::Event
\li\b Caca::Event::Key
\li\b Caca::Event::Key::Press
\li\b Caca::Event::Key::Release
\li\b Caca::Event::Mouse
\li\b Caca::Event::Mouse::Press
\li\b Caca::Event::Mouse::Release
\li\b Caca::Event::Mouse::Motion
\li\b Caca::Event::Resize
\li\b Caca::Event::Quit

The character set conversion functions are not available yet in the binding.
