What is this?

You are looking at the website for the reference documentation of the OpenSim API. This documentation was generated by Doxygen directly from the OpenSim source code as annotated by the original programmers so it is both accurate and comprehensive. As you will quickly realize if you look around, this is a large system providing a great deal of functionality. It is, however, very easy to use if you know where to begin – and this reference documentation is most definitely not the place to start if you want to learn how to use OpenSim. Instead, start with the User's Guide, examples, and tutorials which you can find at the OpenSim project site http://opensim.stanford.edu/support/index.html. There is also a collection of working example programs that come with the OpenSim installation (in the sdk directory). If you have specific questions, use the OpenSim user forum (under "Troubleshooting"). You can also file bug reports and make feature requests using the tools provided there.
