About:
atkmm provides a C++ wrapper for the ATK (Accessibility Toolkit) library, enabling developers to create accessible user interfaces. It follows the standard gtkmm conventions, offering an object-oriented API that simplifies implementing accessibility features like screen reader support in GTK+ applications.

Key Features:

Object-oriented C++ API for ATK
Automatic memory management via GObject wrappers
Signal handling and callback support
Seamless integration with gtkmm applications

Use Cases:

Developing accessible GTK+ applications in C++
Implementing screen reader compatibility for custom UI components
Creating assistive technology tools that interact with GTK interfaces

Alternatives:

Direct C API (ATK) – More verbose and manual memory management required, but offers maximum control
Python ATk bindings – Easier prototyping but lacks C++ performance and type safety
