\section intro Introduction
The term LibMONA encloses a collection of algorithms and data
structures commonly used in morphomery for neurobiological
applications. It is written in C++ in order to allow efficient
programming techniques using an object-oriented approach.
Its main goal is to provide a system independent library, which
follows as much as possible the ANSI C++ standards. Although
it is specially maintained for <a href="http://www.linux.org">Linux</a> /
<a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc.html">GCC</a>, it should as well
build on different <a href="http://www.unix.org">Unix</a> platforms and on
<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows">Microsoft's Windows</a>,
<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/ntworkstation/default.asp">Windows NT</a> /
<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/visualc">MS Visual C++</a>.
LibMONA was created at the
<a href="http://www.cbs.mpg.de">Max-Planck-Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences</a>.
It succeeds the <a href="http://www.sf.mia.org">MIA</a> (morphometric image analysis) package by Gert Wollny.
These pages give some introductory information about how to use the
LibMONA. The conditions of use for the LibMONA are given in \ref license.
Some important concepts necessary to understand the library are shown in architecture.
The section classHierarchy presents a thematic organization of
many classes found in this library. Using the links shown on the top
of this page you can browse the on-line programming reference.
Other useful information can be reached through the links in \ref contents
and in our <a href="http://cnswiki/Software/mona">Wiki- page</a>.
