The use of dynamically-linkable libraries is key to the efficiency of GEOS applications. Several libraries are included in addition to the libraries provided by the kernel (such as the Graphic Object Library and the Database Library, discussed earlier):
-
Import/Export Library
The Impex Library ("impex") contains a number of utilities to convert standard data files into GEOS data files and vice versa.
-
Sound Library
GEOS provides a number of standard sounds and a small library ("sound") to play individual notes on the PC's internal speaker.
-
Ruler Object Library
The Ruler library ("ruler") provides a ruler that applications can use along with a View. It can be set to different measurement units and scales and scrolls itself along with the scale and position of the View.
-
Cell Library
The Cell Library ("cell") provides the lowest-level data manipulation and access routines required by a typical database or spreadsheet application.
-
Parse Library
The Parse Library ("parse") provides a parser for mathematical expressions.
-
CD ROM Library
The CD ROM Library ("cdrom") provides all the routines necessary to interface with standard Microsoft CD ROM extensions.
