=== Detailed Documentation on all Classes/Methods/Functions ===
  * [[http://blake.bcm.edu/doxygen|Autogenerated Python/C++ Documentation (Doxygen)]]
    * There are a LOT of classes in the automatic docs. Basic images are represented by the EMData class
    * The EMData methods process, cmp, align, and project are modular methods with many available functions. Use dump_processors(), dump_cmps(), etc.
    * There are a few classes like analyzers and reconstructors which are not methods of EMData
    * Many utility functions are static members of EMUtil

 /* obsolete
 * [[Eman2:BdbStorage|EMAN2 BDB access from Python (obsolete)]] 
 * [[Eman2:AppMetadata|Parameters/Metadata for applications, not associated with a specific image, stored in bdb:project]]
