Thanks for the info. So if i understand correctly this is only for user interaction / interactive application development, and not really necessary for creating simple/static geometry generator etc..? How about the other salome modules, the meshing for example, does this require any use of the SGEOM module or is it independent from that? Basically what im trying to figure out is where i should start learning, and what parts i can skip for now, or if there are modules that make other modules obsolete...
