fdda.graphics.java2d	The implementation of the graphical model for the Java2D graphics system.
fdda.model	This is the top-level package of the model component.
fdda.model.impl	Contains the implementation of the model component.
fdda.plugins	Contains the interfaces for the plug-ins of FDDA.
fdda.plugins.xmlreader	Contains the plug-ins that read XML files and either load algorithms or projects.
fdda.plugins.xmlwriter	Contains the plug-in that writes projects to XML files.
fdda.propertyTypes	This package contains the type classes for properties.
fdda.propertyTypes.implementations	Contains implementations of the editors and generators of the property types which are included with FDDA.
fdda.utils	Contains global utility classes, mostly adapters to Java utilities.

FDDA follows the document-controller architectural pattern. Additionally, the model is divided into the 'model proper', containing only information relevant to the algorithm, and the 'graphics model', containing the information pertaining to to graphical display of the model and the algorithm demonstration.
Most components of FDDA follow the pattern that their interfaces are defined in the top-level package of the component, while the implementation is in a subpackage. The main class Fdda initializes the components by specifying the implementation using static methods in the main component class of the top-level package.

For the implementation of algorithms, only the packages fdda.algorithm and fdda.model should be relevant.
