<title>Overview</title>
<p>HPBF is the POI Project's pure Java implementation of the Visio file format.</p>
<p>Currently, HPBF is in the experimental stage, while we try
to figure out the file format. Our initial aim is to provide
a text extractor for the format, with low level code following
after that if demand and developer interest warrant it.</p>
<p>At this time, there is no <em>usermodel</em> api or similar.</p>
<p>Our current understanding of the file format is documented
<link href="file-format.html">here</a>.</p>
<note>
This code currently lives the
<link href="http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/poi/trunk/src/scratchpad/">scratchpad area</link>
of the POI SVN repository.
Ensure that you have the scratchpad jar or the scratchpad
build area in your
classpath before experimenting with this code.
