The libraries produced from +the code in each subdirectory of filter/source/graphicfilter are +graphic format import or export filters. But they don't have uniform +API. Some have either an GraphicImport or GraphicExport entry point, +and are loaded and used in a uniform fashion from code in +svtools/source/filter/filter.cxx.
