General 
=======

This is a template module for the ORFEO
Toolbox(https://www.orfeo-toolbox.org/). It is designed to work with OTBv5
modular system and to be places in OTB/Module/Remote.

This module is empty it is just a template to be used as a starting point for a
module with actual content. It contains the template for sources (src folder),
test (test folder) and application (app folder).

Getting Started 
===============

The official OTB Wiki documentation on adding an external module is here:
http://wiki.orfeo-toolbox.org/index.php/How_to_write_a_remote_module

Remote Module
-------------

After a module has been created as a git repository it can be included
as a remote module, which enables automatic fetching. Add a file in
"OTB/Modules/Remote" called "YourModule.remote.cmake", for this module
it would be "ExternalExample.remote.cmake" with the followlowing contents:

otb_fetch_module(ExternalTemplate
  "A template for a module."
  GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/orfeotoolbox/otbExternalModuleTemplate
  GIT_TAG master
  )

Editing
======= 

The CMakeLists.txt and otb-modules need to be modified with the name of the
module, something along the following:

sed 's/ExternalTemplate/MyModule/g' CMakeLists.txt otb-module.cmake

There is the inplace option to sed, but it's not portable, so do this change by
hand or look up the option in sed.

Then hack away at you code in include, src, test and app folders.
