/** \mainpage libcaca developer documentation
 *
 *  \section intro Introduction
 *
 *  \e libcaca is a graphics library that outputs text instead of pixels,
 *  so that it can work on older video cards or text terminals. It is not
 *  unlike the famous AAlib library. \e libcaca can use almost any virtual
 *  terminal to work, thus it should work on all Unix systems (including
 *  Mac OS X) using either the slang library or the ncurses library, on DOS
 *  using the conio library, and on Windows systems using either slang or
 *  ncurses (through Cygwin emulation) or conio. There is also a native X11
 *  driver that does not require a text terminal.
 *
 *  \e libcaca is free software, released under the GNU Lesser General
 *  Public License. This ensures that \e libcaca will always remain free
 *  software.
 *
 *  \section api The libcaca API
 *
 *  The complete \e libcaca programming interface is available from the
 *  caca.h header.
 *
 *  \section env Environment variables
 *
 *  Some environment variables can be used to change the behaviour of
 *  \e libcaca without having to modify the program which uses it. These
 *  variables are:
 *
 *  \li \b CACA_DRIVER: set the backend video driver. In order of preference:
 *      - \c conio uses the DOS conio.h interface.
 *      - \c ncurses uses the ncurses library.
 *      - \c slang uses the S-Lang library.
 *      - \c x11 uses the native X11 driver.
 *
 *  \li \b CACA_GEOMETRY: set the video display size. The format of this
 *      variable must be XxY, with X and Y being integer values. This option
 *      currently only works with the X11 driver.
 *
 *  \li \b CACA_FONT: set the rendered font. The format of this variable is
 *      implementation dependent, but since it currently only works with the
 *      X11 driver, an X11 font name such as "fixed" or "5x7" is expected.
 *
 *  \li \b CACA_BACKGROUND: set the background type.
 *      - \c solid uses solid coloured backgrounds for all characters. This
 *        feature does not work with all terminal emulators. This is the
 *        default choice.
 *      - \c black uses only black backgrounds to render characters.
 *
 *  \li \b CACA_ANTIALIASING: set the antialiasing mode. Antialiasing
 *      smoothens the rendered image and avoids the commonly seen staircase
 *      effect.
 *      - \c none disables antialiasing.
 *      - \c prefilter uses a simple prefilter antialiasing method. This is
 *        the default choice.
 *
 *  \li \b CACA_DITHERING: set the dithering mode. Dithering is necessary
 *      when rendering a picture that has more colours than the usually
 *      available palette.
 *      - \c none disables dithering.
 *      - \c ordered2 uses a 2x2 Bayer matrix for dithering.
 *      - \c ordered4 uses a 4x4 Bayer matrix for dithering. This is the
 *        default choice.
 *      - \c ordered8 uses a 8x8 Bayer matrix for dithering.
 *      - \c random uses random dithering.
