APLCON C++11 wrapper {#mainpage}

APLCON++ is a C++11 wrapper class around the Constrained Least Squares fitter APLCON by Volker Blobel. Please see his DESY homepage how APLCON works. Also, if you use this wrapper in a publication, don't forget to cite Volker Blobel's original work:

Installation and Usage

To build this project, you need

• GNU compiler version >4.7.2 with g++ and gfortran
• cmake version >2.6

Then do a standard out-of-source build by executing the following inside the projects directory:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

You'll find some executable examples and a library called libaplcon++.so inside the above created build directory.

Also have a look at the provided APLCON++ examples code how to use this interface.

Or you may read the rather sparse Doxygen documentation, which can be created with

make doc

(if cmake found the doxygen executable). A doc folder inside the project's root directory is then created, open doc/html/index.html to start reading.
