VP1 (Virtual Point 1) - The ATLAS 3D event display

Introduction

VP1 is the 3D event display for ATLAS. VP1 is the acronym of "or Virtual Point 1", being "Point 1" the site at CERN where the ATLAS experiment is.

VP1 is a framework, there are:

* base packages for common functions and interfaces (VP1Base, VP1Gui, ...)
* system packages implementing access to specific data collections  and systems and to handle all the information  from them (VP1GeometrySystems, VP1AODSystems, VP1TrackSystems, ...) 
* plugin packages which define the usage and the visualization of systems (VP1GeometryPlugin, VP13DCocktailPlugin, ...)
