General Description

creaContours is a C++ application developed by the CreaTools software team. As such, it is contained within the CreaTools general architecture. Its principal objective as a standalone application is to let the user create flexible contour shapes over different kinds of images. The drawn contours can afterwards by used to extract statistical information out of these images.

A gross approximation of creaContours' general architectural distribution can be seen in this diagram. In short creaContours can be thought of as being divided in three parts, each one of which will be explained and detailed in this document.

Libraries

The first three sections of this guide shall be dedicated to the three main creaContours libraries:

• Interface_Icons_NDimensions_lib. The set of classes that represents creaContours' menus and the buttons contained within. 

• Interface_ManagerContour_NDimensions_lib. This is where are found the classes that define the functions associated to the creation and edition of the contours.

• kernel_ManagerContour_NDimensions_lib. As its name suggests, this is the group of classes that constitute the kernel of the application. These are multiple-purpose classes that serve as building blocks for the rest of creaContours
