# About This Book

OpenDoc is a set of shared libraries that you can use to build editors and viewers for compound documents and other component software. This book provides technical reference documentation for OpenDoc on the AIX, OS/2, and Microsoft Windows platforms. It describes platform-independent and platform-specific classes, methods, types, constants, and exceptions defined by OpenDoc.

This book is a companion to the OpenDoc Programming Guide. Before you read this book, you should be familiar with the basic concepts of OpenDoc, as described in the first chapter of the OpenDoc Programming Guide. As you read the information in this book, you can refer to the relevant chapters of the OpenDoc Programming Guide for additional information.

This book does not provide example code. For detailed tutorial instructions and code listings taken from functioning part editors, see the "OpenDoc Recipes" appendix in the OpenDoc Programming Guide.
