    3137    @brief Declaration of the MultiType and some helper constructs.
    3238
     39    @anchor MultiTypeExamples
     40
    3341    The MultiType can hold a value of one of the following types:
    34      - all primitives
    35      - all pointers
    36      - string
     42     - all primitives (int, float, bool, etc.)
     43     - all pointers (void* and T*)
     44     - std::string
    3745     - Vector2, Vector3, Vector4
    3846     - Quaternion
    … …  
    4048     - Radian, Degree
    4149
    42     The MultiType has a "type" determined by the first assigned value, either through
    43      - the constructor,
    44      - the assignment operator= or
    45      - setValue(value).
    46     If you assign another value of another type, the MultiType keeps "it's" type and
    47     converts the new value to this type.
     50    The MultiType has an internal "type" determined by the first assigned value, using one of these ways:
     51     - @ref orxonox::MultiType::MultiType "The constructor"
     52     - The assignment operator= (orxonox::MultiType::operator=())
     53     - @ref orxonox::MultiType::setValue() "setValue(value)"
     54
     55    If you assign another value of another type, the MultiType keeps "its" type and
     56    converts the new value to the old type.
    4857
    4958    If you want to change the type, there are three possibilities:
    50      - convert<T>() set's the type to T and converts the currently assigned value
    51      - setType<T>() set's the type to T and resets the value
     59     - @ref orxonox::MultiType::convert "convert<T>()" sets the type to T and converts the currently assigned value
     60     - @ref orxonox::MultiType::setType "setType<T>()" sets the type to T and resets the value to zero using zeroise<T>()
    5261     - setValue<T>(value) assigns a new value and changes the type to T.
    5362
    54     @example
    55     MultiType a = 10;;         // a has now the type int and the value 10
     63    Examples:
     64    @code
     65    MultiType a = 10;          // a has now the type int and the value 10
    5666    a.setValue("3.14");        // a has still the type int and "3.14" gets converted, therefore the value is now 3
    57     a.setValue<float>("3.14"); // a has now the type float and "3.14" gets converted to 3.14
    58     a.convert<bool>();         // converts 3.14 to bool, which is true
     67    a.setValue<float>("3.14"); // a has now the type float and "3.14" gets converted to 3.14f
     68    a.convert<bool>();         // converts 3.14f to bool, which is true
    5969    a = false;                 // assigns false, this is equivalent to a.setValue(false)
     70    @endcode
     71
     72    You can pass a MultiType to a function as an argument, even if the argument is
     73    not of type MultiType. This works, because the MultiType is automatically converted
     74    to the right type.
     75
     76    Example:
     77    @code
     78    void myfunction(int value)
     79    {
     80        COUT(0) << "doubled value is " << (2 * value) << std::endl;
     81    }
     82
     83    MultiType a = "50";        // Note: We assigned a string
     84    myfunction(a);             // a is converted to int and passed to the function, which prints "value is 100"
     85    @endcode
     86
     87    Note however that it is of course quite expensive to convert values, especially std::string <-> value.
     88    So if you can, always assign a value with the right type to avoid conversion.

    … …  
    127156         - Radian, Degree
    128157
    129         The internal type of a MultiType is determined by the first assigned value, but can be
    130         changed by using setType<T>(), convert<T>() or setValue<T>(value). If a value gets assigned
    131         the normal way (operator=, setValue(value)), the value gets converted to the current internal
    132         type of the MultiType.
     158        For more information and some examples see the description @ref MultiTypeExamples "here".
