All simuPOP documents, including a user's guide, a reference manual, and documents of internal (C++ level) classes and functions are available online. The online version of the simuPOP user's guide and reference manual make use of the Python docutils and reStructuredText. The HTML pages are prepared by sphinx. These documents are also available in PDF format.

simuPOP user's guide

The simuPOP user’s guide shows you how to install and use simuPOP using a large number of examples. It describes all concepts and features of simuPOP and shows you how to use them in a simuPOP script. It is recommended that all simuPOP users read this guide, at least the second chapter, before you start using simuPOP.

simuPOP reference manual

The simuPOP reference manual is the authoritative reference for all simuPOP classes and functions. Unlike the user's guide that is organized by features and concepts, this manual is organized by classes and functions. There is no example in this document.
