/** \mainpage FastJet code documentation
 *
 * These pages provide automatically generated documentation for the 
 * FastJet package.
 * 
 * \section useful_classes The most useful classes
 *
 * Many of the facilities of FastJet can be accessed through the three
 * following classes:
 *
 * - PseudoJet: the basic class for holding the 4-momentum of a
 *   particle or a jet.
 *
 * - JetDefinition: the combination of a #JetAlgorithm and its
 *   associated parameters. Can also be initialised with a \ref plugins "plugin".  
 *
 * - ClusterSequence: constructed with a vector of input (PseudoJet)
 *   particles and a JetDefinition, it computes and stores the
 *   information on how the input particles are clustered into jets.
 *
 * \section advanced_classes Selected more advanced classes
 *
 * - ClusterSequenceArea: with the help of an AreaDefinition, provides
 *   jets that also contain information about their area.
 *
 * \section Tools Selected additional tools
 *
 * - JetMedianBackgroundEstimator: with the help of a Selector, a JetDefinition and
 *   an AreaDefinition, allows one to estimate the background noise density in an event; for a simpler, quicker, effective alternative, use GridMedianBackgroundEstimator.
 *
 * - Transformer: class from which are derived various tools for
 *   manipulating jets and accessing their substructure. Examples are
 *   Subtractor, Filter, Pruner and various taggers (e.g. JHTopTagger
 *   and MassDropTagger).
 *
 * \section further_info Further information
 *
 * - Selected classes ordered by topics can be found under the <a
 * href="topics.html">topics</a> tab.
 *
 * - The complete list of classes is available under the  <a
 * href="annotated.html">classes</a> tab.
 * 
 * - For non-class material (<a href="namespacefastjet.html#enum-members">enums</a>,
 * <a href="namespacefastjet.html#typedef-members">typedefs</a>, 
 * <a href="namespacefastjet.html#func-members">functions</a>), see the
