 ===== Components =====
 There are 3 components:
-  * A DaVinci algorithm, that writes the decay string in a text-file.
+  * BGCat: A DaVinci algorithm, that writes the decay string in a text-file.
-  * A standalone C++ class, that puts the decay-string in a formatted LaTeX-table.
+  * BGlatex: A standalone C++ class, that puts the decay-string in a formatted LaTeX-table.
-  * A standalone C++ class, that converts the Monte Carlo particle numbers in a LaTeX-string with the particle name.
+  * convPDGnumber: A standalone C++ class, that converts the Monte Carlo particle numbers in a LaTeX-string with the particle name.

 ===== C++ Classes BGlatex and convPDGnumber =====
-BGlatex takes the output text-file of BGCat and turns it into a LaTeX-table. convPDGnumber converts the Monte Carlo numbers into a string of LaTeX-code. Note that BGlatex needs convPDGnumber, while convPDGnumber can be used separately.

   *Full LaTeX header. Choose true if you want to use the table standalone, false if you want to use it via ''/input'' in your LaTeX-document. Default is true.
+==== Notes ====
+At this moment (09/01/14), all anti-particle numbers are converted into particle numbers.
+===== The PDGlatex()-method =====
+The class convPDGnumber has the main method **PDGlatex()**, takes as an argument the Monte Carlo number and returns a string with the LaTeX-expression. This method is called internally by **makeTable()**.
+==== Notes ====
+At this moment (09/01/14), no anti-particles are implemented.
+===== How to use it in ROOT/C++ =====
+The classes have been tested to work with ROOT. To use them, start ROOT and type:
+  *''gSystem->Load("lib/libToolClasses.so")''
+  *''BGlatex a''
+  *''a.makeTable()'' (or with arguments)
+  *''.q''
+This should have created a file named **BG_cat.tex** in your directory.
+===== How to use it in Python =====
+The classes have not really been tested in Python. The following procedure seems to work, though.
+Copy the file **libToolClasses.so** in your working directory. Start python and type:
+  *''import GaudiPython''
+  *''GaudiPython.loaddict('STLRflx')''
+  *''import sys, ROOT''
+  *''import libToolClasses'' It will complain about "dynamic module does not define init function".
+  *''from ROOT import BGlatex, convPDGnumber''
+  *''a = BGlatex()''
+  *''a.makeTable()'' (or with arguments)
+  *CTRL-D
+This should have created a file named **BG_cat.tex** in your directory.
+===== Disclaimer =====
+Most of the above programming was done in a Trial-and-Error fashion and things have not been extensively tested. Feel free to add comments or report bugs.
