HUGE: Update on documenation.

  • a general skeleton of the documentation is now in place with all the major components of MoleCuilder explained to some extent.
  • some information has been transfered from TRAC (e.g. install procecure) into this doxygen documentation where it is general and not specific to the situation at our institute.
  • Property mode set to 100644

15/** \page tesselation Tesselation
16 *
17 * Tesselation is a first step towards recognizing molecular surfaces.
18 *
19 * Within the code it is used for calculating correlation functions with regard
20 * to such a surface.
21 *
22 * \section tesselation-procedure
23 *
24 * In the tesselation all atoms act as possible hindrance to a rolling sphere
25 * that moves in from infinity. whenever it rests uniquely on three distinct
26 * points (atoms) a triangle is created. The algorithm continues by flipping the
27 * sphere over one of the triangle's edges to eventually obtain a closed,
28 * tesselated surface of the molecule.
29 *
30 * \note This mesh is different to the usual sense of a molecular surface as
31 * atoms are directly located on it. Normally, one considers a so-called
32 * Van-der-Waals sphere around the atoms and tesselates over these. However,
33 * the mesh can easily be modified and even expanded to match the other
34 * (although the code for that is not yet fully implemented).
35 *
36 * \section tesselation-extension
37 *
38 * The main problem for extending the mesh to match with the normal sense is
39 * that triangles may suddenly intersect others when we have the case of a non-
40 * convex mesh (which is rather the normal case). And this has to be
41 * specifically treated. Also, it is not sure whether the procedure of
42 * expanding our current surface is optimal and one should not start on a
43 * different set of nodes created from virtual points resting on the
44 * van-der-Waals spheres.
