Benoit Jacob 9962c59b56 * implement the corner() API change: new methods topLeftCorner() etc
* get rid of BlockReturnType: it was not needed, and code was not always using it consistently anyway
* add topRows(), leftCols(), bottomRows(), rightCols()
* add corners unit-test covering all of that
* adapt docs, expand "porting from eigen 2 to 3"
* adapt Eigen2Support

This is the API documentation for Eigen3.
Eigen2 users: here is a \ref Eigen2ToEigen3 guide to help porting your application.
For a first contact with Eigen, the best place is to have a look at the \ref TutorialCore "tutorial". For an even shorter overview, we have an <a href="AsciiQuickReference.txt">ASCII quick reference</a> with Matlab translations.
Most of the API is available as methods in DenseBase and MatrixBase, so this is a good starting point for browsing. Also have a look at Matrix, as a few methods and the matrix constructors are there. Other notable classes for the Eigen API are ArrayBase, which contains the methods for doing certain coefficient-wise operations, and TriangularView.
In fact, except for advanced use, the only classes that you'll have to explicitly name in your program, i.e. of which you'll explicitly contruct objects, is Matrix and Array. For instance, vectors are handled as a special case of Matrix with one column. Typedefs are provided, e.g. Vector2f is a typedef for Matrix<float, 2, 1>.
Most of the other classes are just return types for DenseBase and MatrixBase methods.
