About
-----

`SWIG`_ is a software development tool that connects programs written in C and C++ with a variety of high-level programming languages. SWIG is used with different types of target languages including common scripting languages such as Javascript, Perl, PHP, Python, Tcl and Ruby. 

.. note:: We use SWIG to support projects that require Lua.
