Ash C++ Template Library (AshTL) Documentation

This documentation is a work in progress. Please see our project page on sourceforge for more info and downloads: <http://sourceforge.net/projects/ashtl/>

AshTL aims to provide a complete, self-contained C++ hashing template library with special focus on geometric hashing. We provide a variety of hash-based container classes, with backends derived from the google-sparsehash project: <http://code.google.com/p/google-sparsehash/>. Most of the public API from that project is maintained in AshTL, albeit with differences in naming, etc. Container classes provide a STL-like interface wherever possible/reasonable, with extensions where they are relevant.

For a brief explanation of the geometric hashing scheme we use (and generally a good place to get started), see:
