+
+\subsection{HighGUI overview}
+
+While OpenCV was designed for use in production level
+applications, HighGUI was designed soley as an addendum for quick software prototypes
+and experimental setups. The general idea behind HighGUI's design was to
+have a small set of directly useable functions allowing your computer's
+vision code to interact with the environment.
+
+Simple methods to display
+images on screen and to allow (limited) user input are provided, as these are common
+HighGUI tasks.
+
+Note: None of the methods implemented in HighGUI allow for building
+sleek user interfaces with production level error handling. Because of
+this, HighGUI is not the tool to build end-user applications. For
+example: camera input methods in HighGUI are designed to be easily
+useable, but there are no means to react to cameras being plugged
+in or out during run time.
+
+\subsection{Simple GUI}
+
+\cvfunc{NamedWindow}
+
+Creates a window.
+

+The function \texttt{cvNamedWindow} creates a window which can be used as a placeholder for images and trackbars. Created windows are referred to by their names.
+
+If a window with the same name already exists, the function does nothing.

+
+Destroys a window.
+
+\cvexp{

+
+\begin{description}
+\cvarg{ name}{Name of the window.}
+\cvarg{ image}{Image to be shown.}
+\end{description}
+
+The function \texttt{cvShowImage} displays the image in the specified window. If the window was created with the \texttt{CV\_WINDOW\_AUTOSIZE} flag then the image is shown with its original size, otherwise the image is scaled to fit in the window. The function may scale the image, depending on its depth:
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item If the image is 8-bit unsigned, it is displayed as is.
+ \item If the image is 16-bit unsigned or 32-bit integer, the pixels are divided by 256. That is, the value range [0,255*256] is mapped to [0,255].
+ \item If the image is 32-bit floating-point, the pixel values are multiplied by 255. That is, the value range [0,1] is mapped to [0,255].

+\end{description}
+
+The function \texttt{cvCreateTrackbar} creates a trackbar (a.k.a. slider or range control) with the specified name and range, assigns a variable to be syncronized with trackbar position and specifies a callback function to be called on trackbar position change.

+\end{description}
+
+The function \texttt{cvWaitKey} waits for key event infinitely ($ \texttt{delay} <= 0$) or for \texttt{delay} milliseconds. Returns the code of the pressed key or -1 if no key was pressed before the specified time had elapsed.
+
+\textbf{Note:} This function is the only method in HighGUI that can fetch and handle events, so it needs to be called periodically for normal event processing, unless HighGUI is used within some environment that takes care of event processing.
+
+\subsection{Loading and Saving Images}
+
+\cvfunc{LoadImage} % XXX:Doesn't match manual
+
+Loads an image from a file.
+
+\cvexp{
+IplImage* cvLoadImage( \par const char* filename, \par int iscolor=CV\_LOAD\_IMAGE\_COLOR );
+}{CPP}{LoadImage(filename, iscolor=CV\_LOAD\_IMAGE\_COLOR)}

+\begin{lstlisting}
+#define CV_LOAD_IMAGE_COLOR 1
+#define CV_LOAD_IMAGE_GRAYSCALE 0
+#define CV_LOAD_IMAGE_UNCHANGED -1
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+\begin{description}
+\cvarg{filename}{Name of file to be loaded.}
+\cvarg{iscolor}{Specific color type of the loaded image: if $ > 0 $, the loaded image is forced to be a 3-channel color image; if 0, the loaded image is forced to be grayscale; if $ < 0 $, the loaded image will be loaded as is (note that in the current implementation the alpha channel, if any, is stripped from the output image, e.g. 4-channel RGBA image will be loaded as RGB).}
+\end{description}
+
+The function \texttt{cvLoadImage} loads an image from the specified file and returns the pointer to the loaded image. Currently the following file formats are supported:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Windows bitmaps - BMP, DIB
+\item JPEG files - JPEG, JPG, JPE
+\item Portable Network Graphics - PNG
+\item Portable image format - PBM, PGM, PPM
+\item Sun rasters - SR, RAS
+\item TIFF files - TIFF, TIF
+\end{itemize}

+
+}{CPP}{SaveImage(filename,image)-> None}
+
+\begin{description}
+\cvarg{ filename}{Name of the file.}
+\cvarg{ image}{Image to be saved.}
+\end{description}
+
+The function \texttt{cvSaveImage} saves the image to the specified file. The image format is chosen based on the \texttt{filename} extension, see \cross{LoadImage}. Only 8-bit single-channel or 3-channel (with 'BGR' channel order) images can be saved using this function. If the format, depth or channel order is different, use \texttt{cvCvtScale} and \texttt{cvCvtColor} to convert it before saving, or use universal \texttt{cvSave} to save the image to XML or YAML format.
+
+\subsection{Video I/O functions}
+
+\cvstruct{CvCapture}\label{CvCapture}
+
+Video capturing structure.
+
+\ifC
+\cvexp{
+typedef struct CvCapture CvCapture;
+
+}{CPP}{PYTHON}
+\fi
+
+The structure \texttt{CvCapture} does not have a public interface and is used only as a parameter for video capturing functions.
+
+\cvfunc{CaptureFromFile} % XXX:Called cvCreateFileCapture in manual
+
+Initializes capturing a video from a file.
+
+\cvexp{
+CvCapture* cvCaptureFromFile( const char* filename );
+
+}{CPP}{CaptureFromFile(filename) -> CvCapture}
+
+\begin{description}
+\cvarg{ filename}{Name of the video file.}
+\end{description}
+
+The function \texttt{cvCaptureFromFile} allocates and initializes the CvCapture structure for reading the video stream from the specified file. Which codecs and file formats are supported depends on the back end library. On Windows HighGui uses Video for Windows (VfW), on Linux ffmpeg is used and on Mac OS X the back end is QuickTime. See VideoCodecs for some discussion on what to expect and how to prepare your video files.
+
+After the allocated structure is not used any more it should be released by the \cross{ReleaseCapture} function.
+
+\cvfunc{CaptureFromCAM} % XXX:Called cvCreateCameraCapture in manual
+
+Initializes capturing a video from a camera.
+
+\cvexp{
+CvCapture* cvCaptureFromCAM( int index );
+
+}{CPP}{CaptureFromCAM(index) -> CvCapture}
+
+\begin{description}
+\cvarg{ index}{Index of the camera to be used. If there is only one camera or it does not matter what camera is used -1 may be passed.}
+\end{description}
+
+The function \texttt{cvCaptureFromCAM} allocates and initializes the CvCapture structure for reading a video stream from the camera. Currently two camera interfaces can be used on Windows: Video for Windows (VFW) and Matrox Imaging Library (MIL); and two on Linux: V4L and FireWire (IEEE1394).
+
+To release the structure, use \cross{ReleaseCapture}.
+
+\ifC
+\cvfunc{ReleaseCapture}
+
+Releases the CvCapture structure.
+
+\cvexp{
+void cvReleaseCapture( CvCapture** capture );
+
+}{CPP}{PYTHON}
+
+\begin{description}
+\cvarg{ capture}{Pointer to video the capturing structure.}
+\end{description}

+
+}{CPP}{GrabFrame(capture) -> int}
+
+\begin{description}
+\cvarg{ capture}{video capturing structure.}
+\end{description}
+
+The function \texttt{cvGrabFrame} grabs the frame from a camera or file. The grabbed frame is stored internally. The purpose of this function is to grab the frame \emph{quickly} so that syncronization can occur if it has to read from several cameras simultaneously. The grabbed frames are not exposed because they may be stored in a compressed format (as defined by the camera/driver). To retrieve the grabbed frame, \cross{RetrieveFrame} should be used.
+
+\cvfunc{RetrieveFrame} % XXX:Different than manual
+
+Gets the image grabbed with cvGrabFrame.

+
+\begin{description}
+\cvarg{ capture}{video capturing structure.}
+\end{description}
+
+The function \texttt{cvRetrieveFrame} returns the pointer to the image grabbed with the \cross{GrabFrame} function. The returned image should not be released or modified by the user. In the event of an error, the return value may be NULL.
+
+\cvfunc{QueryFrame}
+
+Grabs and returns a frame from a camera or file.
+
+\cvexp{
+IplImage* cvQueryFrame( CvCapture* capture );
+
+}{CPP}{QueryFrame(capture) -> iplimage}
+
+\begin{description}
+\cvarg{ capture}{video capturing structure.}
+\end{description}
+
+The function \texttt{cvQueryFrame} grabs a frame from a camera or video file, decompresses it and returns it. This function is just a combination of \cross{GrabFrame} and \cross{RetrieveFrame}, but in one call. The returned image should not be released or modified by the user. In the event of an error, the return value may be NULL.
+
+\cvfunc{GetCaptureProperty}
+

+\end{description} }
+
+\cvarg{ value}{value of the property.}
+\end{description}
+
+The function \texttt{cvSetCaptureProperty} sets the specified property of video capturing. Currently the function supports only video files: \texttt{CV\_CAP\_PROP\_POS\_MSEC, CV\_CAP\_PROP\_POS\_FRAMES, CV\_CAP\_PROP\_POS\_AVI\_RATIO}.
+
