Examples Index
This index organizes the examples in this documentation by code, and by example type.
- Tutorials are intended to be the first stop for the novice user; they illustrate program features and principles.
- Verification Problems are used to show the validity of program results against the underlying theory; they are not necessarily “real-world” examples.
- Example Applications are full-scale demonstrations of some of the possible uses of the codes.
