NAME

       libatk-1.0 - Accessibility Toolkit API

DESCRIPTION

       ATK  (Accessibility  Tool  Kit) is a set of interfaces which, when implemented by applications and user-interface component libraries, sup-
       ports the use of applications by persons with disabilities.  ATK provides a consistent set of in-process interfaces which conforming compo-
       nents implement, either directly or via the use of add-on libraries. These interfaces are in turn exported out-of-process for use by assis-
       tive technologies (see at-spi(3)).

       Using ATK, applications can explicitly provide descriptive information about their components. By using ATK-enabled toolkits such as  GTK+,
       applications obtain built-in accessibility support.

       The  ATK  API  is a queryable, interfaced API for obtaining textual, attribute-based, and coordinate information from user interface compo-
       nents, and also provides a means of activating and interacting with those components without the direct	use  of  the  keyboard	or  system
       pointing device.

       To access the API documentation, you must install the developer version of the package.
