/*!\mainpage MEDMEM user's guide
\section intro Introduction
This document is the user guide of the %MED SALOME module. The MED
module consists in:
- \ref S1 to manipulate meshes and fields that conform
to the MED data model. This library can be used in C++ programs as
in python script for data processing on meshes and fields.
- \ref S2 that exhibits some useful functions of the
library for a graphical manipulation of data in standard use cases.
- \ref S3 that can be used to process MED data files
\section S1 A library of functions for data processing
The figure below represents the layer structure of the packages of the
library:

The fondamentals consists in three atomic libraries:
- \ref medcoupling that describes DataStructures used for cross process exchange of meshes and fields.
- \ref medloader that provides I/O functions to the MED file format
- \ref interptools (INTERP_KERNEL + REMAPPER) that provides
mathematical structures and algorithms for interpolation and
localization.
You should be warned that the MEDMEM library still exists in the MED
module but is considered as deprecated:
- \ref medmem covers the %MEDMEM core library, i.e. the implementation
of meshes, supports and fields and the associated drivers (for
MED-file, VTK, GIBI).
\section S2 A graphical interface for standard use cases
The MED module in SALOME comes with a graphical interface that helps
you to deal with most standard use case of fields manipulation. The
user guide can be found here:
- User guide of the MED Graphical Interface (in french)
You could also be interested to read the software specifications and
requirements for this graphical module, and even the technical
considerations for development:

specifications and requirements of the MED Graphical Interface (in french)
- Developer guide of the MED Graphical Interface (in french)
\section S3 A set of tools for file manipulation
- Chapter \ref tools describes various tools based on MEDMEM that can
be helpful for handling MED files (conversion tools and splitting tools).
\section install Installation
The install procedure of the %MED SALOME module can handle a variety of configurations
to suit the needs of its user. Instructions for configuring and
installing the module an be found in \ref medmem_install.
