Documenting the SAMSON Software Development Kit

Participants : Stephane Redon, Jocelyn Gate, Svetlana Artemova.

The SAMSON Software Development Kit (SDK) is at the core of the SAMSON platform and makes it possible to develop SAMSON Elements (modules). The API of SAMSON contains numerous classes and allows for a variety of modules types (e.g. parsers, force fields, visual models, integrators, apps, editors, etc.), and provides several non-elementary mechanisms (e.g. a unit system, a signals and slots mechanism, memory management, data structures for incremental calculations, etc.). We continued writing the SDK documentation accessible to SAMSON Elements developers. The current PDF version for the beta 0.4.0 version has passed 500 pages.
