====== Project Ermine ======

Ermine, also known as the short-tailed weasel, is a species of Mustelidae native to Eurasia and North America. The name ermine is often used for the animal in its pure white winter coat, or the fur thereof.

Ermine in heraldry is a "fur", or varied tincture, consisting of a white background with a pattern of black shapes representing the winter coat of the animal Ermine.

End of the joke. **Ermine is our in-house C++ library for generating initial structure for particle systems of complex topologies, distributions and species.**

Instead of a systematic user's manual, to start using Ermine it is probably easier to adapt existing examples from our [[ErmineGallery|Ermine example gallery]].
