Packages are the way MeVisLab organizes projects. A package can contain any number of C++/Macro Modules, Installers, Documentation, etc. The creation of an own package is mandatory for SDK users, all other wizards require a valid target package.

With the Package Wizard, new packages can be created. For detailed information on the package structure, see the Package Structure documentation.
