blender/intern/ghost/GHOST_ISystem.h
Kent Mein ffef850589 Fixed doxygen so it would run again for ghost....
My first time using it so I may have done it wrong but it produces the
docs now and it didn't before so maybe someone else wants to look at it ;)

*
* \section intro Introduction
*
* GHOST is yet another acronym. It stands for "Generic Handy Operating System
* Toolkit". It has been created to replace the OpenGL utility tool kit
* <a href="http://www.opengl.org/developers/documentation/glut.html">GLUT</a>.
* GLUT was used in <a href="http://www.blender3d.com">Blender</a> until the
* point that Blender needed to be ported to Apple's Mac OSX. Blender needed a
* number of modifications in GLUT to work but the GLUT sources for OSX were
* unavailable at the time. The decision was made to build our own replacement
* for GLUT. In those days, NaN Technologies BV was the company that developed
* Blender.
* <br><br>
* Enough history. What does GHOST have to offer?<br>
* In short: everything that Blender needed from GLUT to run on all it's supported
* operating systems and some extra's.
* This includes :
* <ul>
* <li> Time(r) management.</li>
* <li> Display/window management (windows are only created on the main display).
* <li> Event management.</li>
* <li> Cursor shape management (no custom cursors for now).</li>
* <li> Access to the state of the mouse buttons and the keyboard.</li>
* <li> Menus for windows with events generated when they are accessed (this is
* work in progress).</li>
* </ul>
* Font management has been moved to a separate library.
*
* \section platforms Platforms
*
* \section Building GHOST
*
* \section interface Interface
* GHOST has two programming interfaces:
* <ul>
* <li>The C-API. For programs written in C.</li>
* <li>The C++-API. For programs written in C++.</li>
* </ul>
* GHOST itself is writtem in C++ and the C-API is a wrapper around the C++
* API.
*
* \subsection cplusplus_api The C++ API consists of the following files:
* <ul>
* <li>GHOST_IEvent.h</li>
* <li>GHOST_IEventConsumer.h</li>
* <li>GHOST_IMenu.h (in progress)</li>
* <li>GHOST_IMenuBar.h (in progress)</li>
* <li>GHOST_ISystem.h</li>
* <li>GHOST_ITimerTask.h</li>
* <li>GHOST_IWindow.h</li>
* <li>GHOST_Rect.h</li>
* <li>GHOST_Types.h</li>
* </ul>
* For an example of using the C++-API, have a look at the GHOST_C-Test.cpp
* program in the ?/ghost/test/gears/ directory.
*
* \subsection c_api The C-API
* To use GHOST in programs written in C, include the file GHOST_C-API.h in
* your program. This file includes the GHOST_Types.h file for all GHOST types
* and defines functions that give you access to the same functionality present
* in the C++ API.<br>
* For an example of using the C-API, have a look at the GHOST_C-Test.c program
* in the ?/ghost/test/gears/ directory.
*
* \section work Work in progress
*
* \subsection menus Menu functionality
* Menu bars with pull-down menu's for windows are in development in the
* current version of GHOST. The file GHOST_MenuDependKludge.h contains a
* setting to turn menu functionality on or off.

/**
* Interface for classes that provide access to the operating system.
* There should be only one system class in an application.
* Therefore, the routines to create and dispose the system are static.
* Provides:
* -# Time(r) management.
* -# Display/window management (windows are only created on the main display).
* -# Event management.
* -# Cursor shape management (no custom cursors for now).
* -# Access to the state of the mouse buttons and the keyboard.
* -# Menus for windows with events generated when they are accessed (this is
* work in progress).
