LADiM Modules

This chapter describes briefly the present implementation of LADiM. The code is modular and flexible with classes that can be modified or replaced for different purposes.

The descriptions tries the requirements of the classes from the rest of the system, hopefully being helpful for developing alternative classes for use systems.

The code may be developed towards base classes, where alternatives can inherit from a common base class. Presently, alternatives must be written separately.

The LADiM “eco”-system; the connections between the modules.
