+<h3><a name="Overview">Overview</a></h3>
+
+ <p>CD is a platform-independent graphics library. It is implemented in several
+ platforms using native graphics libraries: Microsoft Windows (GDI and GDI+)
+ and X-Windows (XLIB). </p>
+ <p>The library contains functions to support both vector and image
+ applications, and the visualization surface can be either a canvas or a more
+ abstract surface, such as Clipboard, Metafile, PS, and so on.</p>
+ <p>To make the Application Programmers Interface (API) simple, all data are
+ standard C types (int, double or char). Thus the application program does not
+ have to maintain parallel data structures to deal with the graphic library.
+ </p>
+ <p>Furthermore, the list of parameters of the CD primitive functions contains
+ only the geometrical descriptions of the objects (line, circle, text, etc.).
+ Where these objects should appear and what is the their color, thickness, etc.
+ are defined as current state variables stored in the visualization surfaces.
+ That is, the library is visualization-surface oriented, meaning that all
+ attributes are stored in each visualization surface. </p>
+ <p>CD is free software, can be used for public and commercial applications.</p>
+
+<h3><a name="Availability">Availability</a></h3>
+
+ <p>The library is available for several <strong>compilers</strong>:</p>

+ message:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Check if the reported behavior is not described in the user guide.</li>
+ <li>Check if the reported behavior is not described in the specific driver
+ characteristics.</li>
+ <li>Check the History to see if your version is updated.</li>
+ <li>Check the To Do list to see if your problem has already been reported.</li>
+ </ul>
+ <p>After all of the above have been checked, report the problem, including in
+ your message: <strong>function, element, driver, platform, and compiler.</strong></p>
