Detailed Description

General Parameter class.

This class is intended to simplify parameter management for force fields or other stronlgy parameterized methods. It is based on INIFile .

virtual bool BALL::Parameters::isValid ( ) const [virtual]

Validity predicate.

Return true if the parameters were correctly initialized, the internal INI file is valid.
