This is the project for EPICS areaDetector software.

The areaDetector code is contained in repositories in this project. Five of these are "core" repositories:

1. areaDetector. This is the top-level repository, and all other repositories are submodules of this repository. It contains mostly documentation, configuration files, and a top-level Makefile to build the entire areaDetector package.
2. ADSupport. This contains the source code for support libraries (TIFF, JPEG, HDF5, XML2, etc.). This is required for Windows and vxWorks, and can optionally be used on Linux and Darwin.
3. ADCore. This contains the base classes, plugins, and documentation.
4. ADSimDetector. This contains an example 2-D simulation detector driver and IOC.
5. ADViewers. This contains viewers for displaying areaDetector images in ImageJ, Python, and IDL.

The other submodules (ADProsilica, ADPilatus, etc.) contain drivers and EPICS IOC applications for specific detectors, or non-standard plugins (ADPluginBar, ADPluginEdge, etc.)
