Detailed Description

Classes which can be used to create CVs, functions, biases and so on.

The typical way to add a new feature to plumed is to create a new class which just inherits from one of the classes of this group. For example, a new collective variable can be created by inheriting from PLMD::Colvar. Most of the Classes providing input directives are based on classes from this group.

To add a class to this group, just put a

\ingroup INHERIT

statement somewhere inside the header.
