	<p>
  The LTPDA toolbox is object oriented and as such, extends the MATLAB object types to many others. All data processing is
  done using objects and methods of those classes.
</p>
<p>
  For full details of objects in MATLAB, refer to <a href="matlab:web(['jar:file:///' matlabroot '/help/techdoc/help.jar!/matlab_oop/ug_intropage.html'])">MATLAB Classes and Object-Oriented Programming</a>.
</p>
<a name="classes" id= "classes"><h3 class="title">LTPDA Classes</h3></a>

<p>
  Various classes make up the object-oriented infrastructure of LTPDA. The figure below shows all the classes in LTPDA.
  All classes are derived from the base class, <tt>ltpda_obj</tt>. The classes then fall into two main types deriving
  from the classes <tt>ltpda_nuo</tt> and <tt>ltpda_uo</tt>.
</p>
<br>
  <img src="images/objects_class_diagram.png" alt="LTPDA classes">
<br>
<p>
  The left branch, <tt>ltpda_nuo</tt>, are termed 'non-user objects'. These
  objects are not typically accessed or created by users. The right branch, <tt>ltpda_uo</tt>, are termed 'user objects'.
  These objects have a 'name' and a 'history' property which means that their processing history is tracked through all
  LTPDA algorithms. In addition, these 'user objects' can be saved to disk or to an LTPDA repository.
</p>
<p>
  The objects drawn in green are expected to be created by users in scripts or on the LTPDA GUI.
</p>


 <p>Details of each class are given in:</p>
