This software was first developed by C. Aksoy & K. Mançuhan during their BSc thesis, both advised by V. Labatut; C. Aksoy then largely extended this work during its MSc thesis, also under the supervision of V. Labatut; which then made minor modifications and corrected a few bugs in the resulting source code.
