</refnamediv>

libvips comes with a convenient C++ API. It is a very thin wrapper over the 
C API and adds automatic reference counting, exceptions, operator 
overloads, and automatic constant expansion. 

See the 
<ulink url="https://libvips.github.io/libvips/API/8.11/cpp">
C++ API documentation</ulink>
for more details.
