giraffe

  provides functionality for angular cross-correlation analysis
  the underlying classes may also be used for more general purposes

  The classes in this package are the following
    CrossCorrelator --- a class to compute angular auto- and cross-correlations
    arraydata --- a general class for dynamically allocated array (parent class)
    array1D --- derived class for one-dimensional arrays
    array2D --- derived class for two-dimensional arrays
    array3D --- derived class for three-dimensional arrays
    arraydataIO --- functionality to get HDF5, EDF, TIFF in and out of arraydata objects
    FourierTransformer --- wrapper for the Fourier tranforms of the fft library


  The giraffe library can be used, for example in Anton Barty's cheetah

*** building ***
  This package can be built using the SCons software construction tool (http://www.scons.org/) using commands
    scons -c
    scons
  
  to yield
    libgiraffe_static.a --- static library
    libgiraffe_dynamic.so/dylib --- dynamic library (extension is platform dependent)
    filehandler --- stand-alone tool for common tasks around the array classes (I/O, basic math, ...)
    xcca --- stand-alone tool for X-ray Cross Correlation Analysis
    testsuite --- a bunch of test functions for the classes contained
