Welcome to the Tulip user oriented documentation!

We suggest to run Tulip and experiment with the concepts explained while reading this manual. The current documentation presents in details the “Tulip” perspective. If you are interested in customizing the application, you can develop your own perspective. One example of such developement is Porgy, available through the Porgy website.
