However we are not there yet. The API is far -from set in stone yet, and is likely to change. +LibGII (General Input Interface) is intended to be to input what our LibGGI +(General Graphics Interface) library is to graphics. -The main purpose of this LibGII release is to accompany our LibGGI beta -release, but you're still very welcome to use LibGII as a standalone library -for your non-LibGGI applications. +LibGII is based on the concept of input streams, which virtualize access +to the underlying input drivers. Events from various input devices are +abstracted into easy-to-use structures. LibGII also allows the application to +join streams together, receiving input from an arbitrary combination of +devices. LibGII is a separate component from LibGGI, although LibGGI +depends on LibGII for input purposes. + +The main purpose of this LibGII release is to accompany our LibGGI +release, but you're still very welcome to use LibGII as a standalone +library for your non-LibGGI applications. Also you might be interrested in +the mhub utility found in the demos directory. mhub is a mouse event repeater +and converter.
