This manual is the API specification for the IBus. IBus is built upon GObject and D-Bus, so you may find that modules are named as classes and objects in the sense of GObject, and may D-Bus wrapper API.
According to the puroposes of modules, we categorized them into following parts:
Panel |
A IBus-panel is an UI which provides UI components such as language bar, property buttons and so on. |
Input method engine (IME) |
An Input method engine is an implementation of certain input method. Here lists essential classes and functions for input method engine building, such as engine specification, and class abstracts. |
Configuration |
This part lists functions for configuring IBus and engines. Since most configuration files are in XML format, XML handling functions are also listed here. |
Communication |
Here lists the service communication functions. |
Internal |
Definition and functions for IBus internal use. |
Normally input method developers need only to read the first three parts.
