+\section{C++ api to TkZinc}
+\concept{C++api}
+
+In the course of the development of IntuiKit, IntuiLab developed a C++ API to TkZinc. 
+This wrapper gives access to functions of TkZinc for opening/closing of a Tkzinc window, 
+creating/destroying items, using colour gradients, events, access to the mainloop... 
+directly in C++ by hiding the use of Tk. This source code (as well as samples and tests) are
+distributed with TkZinc. IntuiLab choose the same licence than TkZinc, ie LGPL. 
+The C++ API does not fully cover all TkZinc functions, but most of them can be 
+easily extended (e.g. the access of some ATC items currently not wrapped such as 
+track, waypoint, tabular...).
+
+The C++ api is fully documented and have been largely tested by IntuiLab for its own need.
+
+IntuiLab hopes this wrapper will be useful to the TkZinc community.
