h1. What is the Leginon System 



 *Abstract* 

 Leginon system include the python-side programs that are writen in python and c, the 
 MySQL database and server, and the mainly php-based image and data viewers on a web 
 server. 


 The python-side programs provide a modular framework for building applications for TEM 
 image acquisition and analysis. Nodes can be connected through abstract events in Leginon's 
 modular architecture design. This gives Leginon the flexibility of application customization 
 at multiple levels. Because nodes can be launched from different machines, Leginon's 
 applications can inherently use distributed memory systems. 


 The MySQL-side database and server keep track of all information (metadata) accompanying 
 the acquired images efficiently. 


 The php-side web server and scripts retrieve information from the database and the file 
 storage system to display both raw information and organized reports. 


 NRAMM development includes the python-side and the php-side scripts. MySQL side uses 
 directly the open-source distribution. 


 The website    "http://leginon.scripps.edu/":http://leginon.scripps.edu 
 is the central location for leginon information and links. 


 Once registed for leginon download, the users have access to the " bulletin board":http://emg.nysbc.org/bb.viewforum.php?f=2    where users and 
 developers post their questions and answers. 


 Official bug report and feature request should be entered through    "bugzilla":http://emg.nysbc.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=Leginon .
