This tutorial gives an introduction to the OpenMS core datastructures and algorithms. It is intended to allow for a quick start in writing your own applications based on the OpenMS framework.
The structure of this tutorial is similar to the modules of the class documentation. First, the basic concepts and datastructures of OpenMS are explained. The next chapter is about the kernel datastructures. These datastructures represent the actual mass spectronomy data: raw data, peaks, spectra and maps. In the following chapters, the more sophisticated datastructures and algorithms, e.g. those used for peak picking, feature finding and identification are presented.
All the example programs used in this tutorial, can be found in OpenMS/source/EXAMPLES/.
If you are looking for C++ literature, we recommend the following books:
