*
* Here is an example on how to use the \ref luamodel_introduction Addon both
* for loading the models from C++ code and also how the model file looks
* like.
*
* Using Lua as a description format for models instead of C++ code has
* numerous advantages such as simplified modeling, less C++ compilations,
* and easier exchange of models between multiple users. As the file format
* uses Lua code it is easy to create parameterized models.
*
* To be able to use the addon one has to enable the addon in CMake by
* setting BUILD_ADDON_LUAMODEL to true.
*
* Here is an example how \ref luamodel_introduction can be loaded by the RBDL:
*
* \include example_luamodel.cc
*
* If the library itself is already created, one can compile this example
* with CMake. In the example folder is a CMakeLists.txt file, that can be
* used to automatically create the makefiles by using <a
* href="http://www.cmake.org">CMake</a>. It uses the script
* FindRBDL.cmake which can be used to find the library and include
* directory of the headers.
*
* The documentation about how to write the lua models can be found
* \ref luamodel_introduction "here".
*
* Here is an example:
*
* \include samplemodel.lua
*
* The FindRBDL.cmake script can use the environment variables RBDL_PATH,
* RBDL_INCLUDE_PATH, and RBDL_LIBRARY_PATH to find the required files.
*
* To build it manually you have to specify the following compiler and
* linking switches:
* \code
* g++ example.cc -I<path to build folder>/src -I<path to src folder> -lrbdl -L<path to librbdl.a> -o example
* \endcode
*
