/** \page page_introduction Introduction \tableofcontents The Fast Light User Interface Designer, or FLUID, is a graphical editor that can produce ready to compile C++ source code and header files. This user manual will introduce FLUID, starting with the installation process, an overview of the main application window, and how to compile and run a simple program. I will explain how to generate a more complex user interface with three short tutorial, followed by some advanced subject like creating integrated reusable widget classes. The appendices will sum up node types and code generation in more detail. \section introduction_workflow Workflow FLUID has two modes of operation. When started from the shell without command line arguments, or when launched from the desktop, FLUID will open in interactive mode. If FLUID is started from the command line with `-u`, `-c`, or `cs`, it will not open any user interface, but instead behave like any shell-only tool that can be easily integrated into Makefiles and build systems like CMake. \image html fluid_flow_chart_800.png \image latex fluid_flow_chart.png "" width=10cm FLUID organization More details on the command line arguments of FLUID can be found in the chapter \ref page_build_integration . */
