ORBIT-USER: User-defined topology with NodeHandler v4

[Thierry Rakotoarivelo]

Dear all,

We recently added the following feature to NodeHandler v4: the ability 
for a user to define topologies in his experiment script from already 
existing topologies.

One simple useful case for this is when a user needs to write an 
experiment script that is not particularly tied to some sets of 
predefined nodes, but rather uses any nodes active and available at the 
experiment running time (e.g. using the 'topo_grid_active' from the 
imaging process to define his own topologies).

A tutorial+example on how to use this feature is available at:

http://www.orbit-lab.org/wiki/Tutorial/HowToTopology

And more information on the various topology-related commands is 
available at:

http://www.orbit-lab.org/wiki/Documentation/NodeHandler/Commands/defTopology

If you have the chance, could you please give a go at using this 
functionality, and inform me of any problem, comments, or suggestions?

Regards,
Thierry.
