+% LTPDA_OBJ is the abstract ltpda base class.
+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+%
+% DESCRIPTION:   LTPDA_OBJ is the ltpda base class.
+%                This ltpda_obj class is an abstract class and it is not
+%                possible to create an instance of this class.
+%
+% SUPER CLASSES: handle (MATLAB class)
+%
+% SUB CLASSES:   ltpda_nuc, ltpda_uc
+%
+% LTPDA_OBJ PROPERTIES:
+%
+%     Protected Properties (read only)
+%
+% LTPDA_OBJ METHODS:
+%
+%     Public Methods
+%       eq              - Overloads the == operator for ltpda objects.
+%       get             - Get a property of a object.
+%       isprop          - Tests if the given field is one of the object
+%                         properties.
+%       ne              - Overloads the ~= operator for ltpda objects.
+%
+%     Static Methods
+%       SETS            - Retruns the different sets of the constructor
+%       getDefaultPlist - Returns the default plsit for the specified set-name
+%       getInfo         - Static method to get information of a method
+%
+%     Abstract Methods
+%       char
+%       copy
+%       display
+%
+% REMARK:  It is necessary to define the ABSTRACT methods and properties in
+%          the sub-classes because if they are not defined is the sub-class
+%          as well an abstract class. (See ltpda_nuo)
