=== Modular functions in EMAN2 ===
Many aspects of EMAN2 are modular, meaning new functions can be easily added for a variety of tasks. These categories are used in the GUI and from
the command-line, and are not just useful for programmers. For example, the '--process' option in e2proc2d.py and e2proc3d.py uses 'processors' as
defined below.

Modular functions in EMAN2

Many aspects of EMAN2 are modular, meaning new functions can be easily added for a variety of tasks. These categories are used in the GUI and from the command-line, and are not just useful for programmers. For example, the '--process' option in e2proc2d.py and e2proc3d.py uses 'processors' as defined below.
