25 //! Abstract class for containers of particles
26 /** Containers store sets of tuples of particles. The degree of the tuple
27  (i.e. whether each tuple contains one, two, three or four
28  particles) is constant for each container. That is, a
29  SingletonContainer is a set of single particles, a PairContainer
30  is a set of pairs of particles etc.
31 
32  These sets can come from a variety of sources, such as
33  - user-provided lists, e.g. IMP::container::ListSingletonContainer
34  - operations on other containers e.g. IMP::container::PairContainerSet
35  - computations based on particle attributes
36  e.g. IMP::container::ClosePairContainer
37 
38  Most basically, containers allow you to get their contents
39  (eg SingletonContainer::get_indexes()) or do an operation on their contents
40  IMP_CONTAINER_FOREACH().
41 
42  \note Containers store \em sets and so are fundamentally unordered.
