#################################### PyMSES : Python modules for RAMSES_ #################################### ************ Introduction ************ PyMSES is a set of Python modules originally written for the RAMSES_ astrophysical fluid dynamics AMR code. Its purpose : * provide a clean and easy way of **getting the data** out of RAMSES_ simulation outputs. * help you analyse/manipulate very large simulations transparently, without worrying more than needed about domain decompositions, memory management, etc., * interface with a lot of powerful Python libraries (Numpy_/Scipy_, Matplotlib_, PIL_, HDF5_/PyTables_) and existing code (like your own). * be a post-processing toolbox for your own data analysis. .. _Numpy: http://numpy.scipy.org/ .. _Scipy: http://www.scipy.org/ .. _PIL: http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/ .. _Matplotlib: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/ .. _HDF5: http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/ .. _PyTables: http://www.pytables.org/ What PyMSES is NOT ================== It is **not an interactive environment** by itself, but : * it provides modules which can be used interactively, for example with IPython_. * it also provides an :doc:`AMRViewer ` graphical user intergace (GUI) module that allows you to get a quick and easy look at your AMR data. ************* Downloads ************* * :doc:`downloads` ************* Documentation ************* * :doc:`index` ******** Contacts ******** :Authors: Marc LABADENS, Damien CHAPON, Thomas GUILLET :Contact: PyMSES-users@googlegroups.com :Organization: `Service d'astrophysique, CEA/Saclay `_ :Address: Gif-Sur-Yvette, F91190, France :Date: |today| ****************** Indices and tables ****************** * :ref:`genindex` * :ref:`modindex` * :ref:`search` .. _RAMSES: http://www.itp.uzh.ch/~teyssier/Site/RAMSES.html .. _IPython: http://ipython.scipy.org/ .. _matplotlib: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/ .. _mayavi: http://code.enthought.com/projects/mayavi/
