<h2 class="section"> 4.6 Basic Libraries </h2>
<p>This chapter describes the features of the libraries which are linked into
typical Crystal Space applications and plugins. For convenience, all of these
libraries are contained in the primary <tt>‘crystalspace’</tt> library, so it is
not strictly necessary to distinguish them for actual usage, however, for
developers working on Crystal Space itself, it is helpful to understand how
these libraries are broken down and the relationship between them.
</p>

<p>This section presents a quick overview of the libraries provided by Crystal
Space. More detailed descriptions of these libraries may be found in later
sections.
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt> cstool</dt>
<dd><p>This library contains various high-level classes and utilities. They tend to
be much more specialized than the general-purpose tools provided elsewhere and
may even depend upon plugin modules (unlike the other libraries mentioned
here).
</p>
</dd>
<dt> csutil</dt>
<dd><p>This library contains many low-level utilities including string and hash
classes, to <small>ZIP</small> manipulation tools, plugin management and Unicode support
modules.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <small>SCF</small> (Shared Class Facility)</dt>
<dd><p><small>SCF</small> is actually a component of “csutil”, however, it is explained
separately since it is both complex (compared to the rest of “csutil”) and
fundamental to the understanding of plugin modules. See section <a href="SCF.html#0">Shared Class Facility (<small>SCF</small>)</a>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> csgeom</dt>
<dd><p>A library for geometric operations. It provides 2D and 3D vectors, polygons
and bounding boxes, 3D matrices and some other useful tools. See section <a href="csGeom.html#0">Geometry Library (<code>csGeom</code>)</a>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> csgfx</dt>
<dd><p>Basic image support and graphical manipulation tools.
