The libgtk+-devel package contains the static libraries and header files needed for developing GTK+ applications. The libgtk+-devel package contains GDK (the General Drawing Kit, which simplifies the interface for writing GTK+ widgets and using GTK+ widgets in applications), and GTK+ (the widget set). Start with GTK tutorial.
GTK+ is free software and based on three libraries: GLib, Pango and ATK.
* GLib is the low-level core library that forms the basis of GTK+ and GNOME. It provides data structure
handling for C, portability wrappers, and interfaces for such runtime functionality as an event loop, threads,
dynamic loading, and an object system.
* Pango is a library for layout and rendering of text, with an emphasis on internationalization.
It forms the core of text and font handling for GTK+-2.0.
* The ATK library provides a set of interfaces for accessibility. By supporting the ATK interfaces,
an application or toolkit can be used with such tools as screen readers, magnifiers, and alternative input devices.
