17583N/A<para>ATK (Accessibility Tool Kit) is a set of interfaces which, when

17583N/Aimplemented by applications and user-interface component libraries, supports

17583N/Athe use of applications by persons with disabilities. ATK provides a consistent

10139N/Aset of in-process interfaces which conforming components implement, either

17583N/Adirectly or via the use of add-on libraries. These interfaces are in turn

17583N/Aexported out-of-process for use by assistive technologies (see <citerefentry>

17583N/A<refentrytitle>at-spi</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>).

17583N/A<para>Using ATK, applications can explicitly provide descriptive information

17583N/Aabout their components. By using ATK-enabled toolkits such as GTK+, applications

17583N/Aobtain built-in accessibility support.</para>

10139N/A

17593N/A<para>The ATK API is a queryable, interfaced API for obtaining textual, attribute-based,

10139N/Aand coordinate information from user interface components, and also provides

17583N/Aa means of activating and interacting with those components without the direct

17583N/Ause of the keyboard or system pointing device.</para>

17583N/A<para>To access the API documentation, you must install the developer version

17583N/Aof the package.</para>
