Pix, struct Pix, or PIX in Leptonica

Question

I've been able to successfully use the "Pix" type with Tesseract (see http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/wiki/APIExample), yet only "struct Pix" and "PIX" are defined in pix.h (of the Leptonica library). "Pix" (no "struct" keyword) seems to not be defined, but it must be defined somehwere.

Searching the headers for "Pix" renders too many matches to browse through for meaning. Does anyone know why "Pix" works?

I'm using both. "Pix" worked fine for C++, but it's unresolvable using similar code in C. I'm having to use "PIX". — Dustin Oprea, Nov 13 '13 at 07:03
That it is: in C++ you don't need to write "struct A", you can just write "A". — Eddy_Em, Nov 13 '13 at 07:06
I never knew that. What a great way to arbitrarily infuse ambiguity. — Dustin Oprea, Nov 13 '13 at 08:27

Per @Eddy_Em: That it is: in C++ you don't need to write "struct A", you can just write "A".
