+\namespace osgViewer
+
+The osgViewer library provides high level viewer functionality designed to make it easier to write a range of different types of viewers,
+from viewers embedded in existing windows via SimpleViewer, through to highly scalable and flexible Viewer and Composite classes.  A
+set of event handlers add functionality to these viewers so that you can rapidly compose the viewer functionality tailored to your needs.
+Finally the viewer classes can be adapted to work with a range of different window toolkit API's via GraphicsWindow implementations,
+with native Win32, X11 and Carbon implementations on Windows, Unices and OSX respectively, and other window toolkits such as WxWidgets, Qt etc.
