+/*! \defgroup module_analysisdata Parallelizable Handling of Output Data (analysisdata)
* \ingroup group_analysismodules
* \brief
* Provides functionality for handling and processing output data from
* analysis.
*
- * \author Teemu Murtola <teemu.murtola@cbr.su.se>
+ * <H3>Overview</H3>
+ *
+ * This module provides functionality to do common processing for tabular data
+ * in analysis tools. In addition to providing this common functionality, one
+ * major driver for this module is to make it simple to write analysis tools
+ * that process frames in parallel: the functionality in this module takes care
+ * of necessary synchronization and communication such that output from the
+ * frames is collected and output in the correct order.
+ *
+ * This module consists of two main parts. The first is formed by the
+ * gmx::AbstractAnalysisData class and classes that derive from it:
+ * gmx::AnalysisData and gmx::AnalysisArrayData. These classes are used to
+ * process and store raw data as produced by the analysis tool. They also
+ * provide an interface to attach data modules that implement
+ * gmx::AnalysisDataModuleInterface.
+ * Modules that implement this interface form the second part of the module,
+ * and they provide functionality to do processing operations on the data.
+ * These modules can also derive from gmx::AbstractAnalysisData, allowing other
+ * modules to be attached to them to form a processing chain that best suits
+ * the analysis tool. Typically, such a processing chain ends in a plotting
+ * module that writes the data into a file, but the final module can also
+ * provide direct access to the processed data, allowing the analysis tool to
+ * do custom postprocessing outside the module framework.
+ *
+ * The sequence chart below shows an overview of how analysis data objects
+ * and modules interact (currently, multipoint data is an exception to this
+ * diagram).
+ * \msc
+ * caller,
+ * data [ label="AnalysisData", URL="\ref gmx::AnalysisData" ],
+ * module1 [ label="data module", URL="\ref gmx::AnalysisDataModuleInterface" ];
+ *

+ * caller => data [ label="addModule(module1)",
+ * URL="\ref gmx::AbstractAnalysisData::addModule() " ];
+ * caller => data [ label="startData()",
+ * URL="\ref gmx::AnalysisData::startData()" ];
+ * data => module1 [ label="dataStarted()",
+ * URL="\ref gmx::AnalysisDataModuleInterface::dataStarted()" ];
+ * caller << data [ label="handle",
+ * URL="\ref gmx::AnalysisDataHandle" ];

+ * URL="\ref gmx::AnalysisDataHandle::startFrame()" ];
+ * caller => data [ label="add data for frame 0",
+ * URL="\ref gmx::AnalysisDataHandle" ];
+ * caller => data [ label="handle->finishFrame() (frame 0)",
+ * URL="\ref gmx::AnalysisDataHandle::finishFrame()" ];
+ * data => module1 [ label="frameStarted(0)",
+ * URL="\ref gmx::AnalysisDataModuleInterface::frameStarted()" ];
+ * data => module1 [ label="pointsAdded()",
+ * URL="\ref gmx::AnalysisDataModuleInterface::pointsAdded()" ];
+ * data => module1 [ label="frameFinished(0)",
+ * URL="\ref gmx::AnalysisDataModuleInterface::frameFinished()" ];
+ * caller => data [ label="handle->startFrame(1)",
+ * URL="\ref gmx::AnalysisDataHandle::startFrame()" ];
+ * caller => data [ label="add data for frame 1",
+ * URL="\ref gmx::AnalysisDataHandle" ];
+ * caller => data [ label="handle2->finishFrame() (frame 1)",
+ * URL="\ref gmx::AnalysisDataHandle::finishFrame()" ];
+ * data => module1 [ label="process frame 1" ];

+ * \endmsc
+ *
+ * The second sequence chart below shows the interaction in the case of two
+ * gmx::AnalysisDataHandle objects, which can be used to insert data
+ * concurrently for multiple frames. The gmx::AnalysisData object and the
+ * handles take care to notify the module such that it always receives the
+ * frames in the correct order.

+ * <H3>Using Data Objects and Modules</H3>
+ *
+ * To use the functionality in this module, you typically declare one or more
+ * AnalysisData objects and set its properties. You then create some module
+ * objects and set their properties (see the list of classes that implement
+ * gmx::AnalysisDataModuleInterface) and attach them to the data objects or to
+ * one another using gmx::AbstractAnalysisData::addModule(). Then you add the
+ * actual data values to the gmx::AnalysisData object, which automatically
+ * passes it on to the modules.
+ * After all data is added, you may optionally access some
+ * results directly from the module objects. However, in many cases it is
+ * sufficient to initially add a plotting module to the processing chain, which
+ * will then automatically write the results into a file.
+ *
+ * For simple processing needs with a small amount of data, an
+ * gmx::AnalysisArrayData class is also provided, which keeps all the data in an
+ * in-memory array and allows you to manipulate the data as you wish before you
+ * pass the data to the attached modules.
+ *
+ * \if libapi
+ * <H3>Writing New Data and Module Objects</H3>
+ *
+ * New data modules can be implemented to perform custom operations that are
+ * not supported by the modules provided in this module. This is done by
+ * creating a new class that implements gmx::AnalysisDataModuleInterface.
+ * If the new module computes values that can be used as input for other
+ * modules, the new class should also derive from gmx::AbstractAnalysisData, and
+ * preferably use gmx::AnalysisDataStorage internally to implement storage of
+ * values. See the documentation of the mentioned classes for more details on
+ * how to implement custom modules.
+ * When implementing a new module, it should be considered whether it can be of
+ * more general use, and if so, it should be added to this module.
+ *
+ * It is also possible to implement new data source objects by deriving a class
+ * from gmx::AbstractAnalysisData. This should not normally be necessary, since
+ * this module provides general data source objects for most typical uses.
+ * If the classes in this module are not suitable for some specific use, it
+ * should be considered whether a new generic class could be added (or an
+ * existing extended) instead of implementing a local custom solution.
