-/* $Id$ */ /** \page libcaca-ruby Libcaca ruby bindings
-
 This a Ruby binding for libcucul and libcaca.
 
-There is no real documentation but "methods" on any object should help you :)
-
-The classes available for libcucul are :
-
-- Cucul::Canvas (functions that have a cucul_canvas_t* as first argument)
-
-- Cucul::Dither (functions that have a cucul_dither_t* as first argument)
-
-- Cucul::Font (functions that have a cucul_font_t* as first argument)
- * The constructor can currently only accept the name of a builtin font
-
-The classes available for libcaca are :
-
-- Caca::Display
-- Caca::Event
-- Caca::Event::Key
-- Caca::Event::Key::Press
-- Caca::Event::Key::Release
-- Caca::Event::Mouse
-- Caca::Event::Mouse::Press
-- Caca::Event::Mouse::Release
-- Caca::Event::Mouse::Motion
-- Caca::Event::Resize
-- Caca::Event::Quit
-
-The character set conversion functions are not available yet in the binding.
-
-I tried to follow Ruby spirit meaning that :
-- most of the methods return self
-- the methods set_foo with only an argument are also available as foo=
-(returning the value instead of self)
-- the methods originally named get_foo are available only as foo
-
-What is currently available is :
-

--.

-\endcode
-
-\code
-$ ruby -rcucul -e 'p Cucul::Font.list'
-["Monospace 9", "Monospace Bold 12"]
-\endcode
-
-And now a real one:
-
-\code
-require 'caca'
-c = Cucul::Canvas.new(20,10)
-c.put_str(2, 3, "plop!")
-c.draw_thin_polyline([[0,0], [0,2], [5,2], [0,0]])
-d = Caca::Display.new(c)
-d.title = "Test !"
-d.refresh
-while((e = d.get_event(Caca::Event, -1)) &&
-       ! e.kind_of?(Caca::Event::Quit))
-    p e
-    d.refresh
-end
-\endcode

+You can play with it by doing require 'caca' or require 'cucul' and looking at
+the Cucul and Caca modules, or maybe read the documentation :)
