CAD::Drawing::IO::DWGI - Perl bindings to the OpenDWG toolkit

=head1 WARNING

This module is intended to serve as a backend to CAD::Drawing and is not
guaranteed to remain interface stable.  Do not use this module directly
unless you have a need for higher-speed access than that which is
provided by CAD::Drawing (which also provides loads of other features.)

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use CAD::Drawing::IO::DWGI;
  $dwg = CAD::Drawing::IO::DWGI->new();
  $dwg->loadfile("file.dwg");
  $dwg->getentinit();
  while(my($layer, $color, $type) = $dwg->getent()) {
    my $type = $dwg->entype($type);
    if($type eq "lines") {
      $line = $dwg->getLine();
      }
    }
  
  $dxf = CAD::Drawing::IO::DWGI->new();
  $dxf->newfile(1);
  $dxf->getentinit();
  $dxf->writeCircle({"pt"=>[$x, $y], "rad" => 1.125, "color" => 9});
  $dxf->savefile("check.dxf", 1);

=head1 SPEED

Wow!  This is fast!  I had originally implemented this with a
function-call based wrapper which had the drawback that the layerhandle
had to be found for every object which was being saved.  See the
writeLayer() and setLayer() functions below for details of the improved
methods.  Also note that while the speed is amazing from this level,
very little speed is lost by moving up a level to using CAD::Drawing
(please do this.)

=head1 Accuracy

The dxf file accuracy is set internally at 14 digits after the decimal
place.  Providing an interface to set this would take a bit of coding
in C, so you are more than welcome to submit a patch.
