Transformation to Boozer coordinates

## Project description

# booz_xform ![booz_xform logo](docs/source/logo_lores.png)

booz_xform is a package for computing Boozer coordinates in toroidal magnetohydrodynamic equilibria, including both stellarators and tokamaks. The package described here follows the same algorithm as the fortran 77 code of the same name in [Stellopt](https://github.com/PrincetonUniversity/STELLOPT/tree/develop/BOOZ_XFORM). However the package here is written in C++, with python bindings. The package here is also written so as to allow input from equilibrium codes other than VMEC, it is parallelized using OpenMP, and it includes functions for plotting output. It is also equipped with unit and regression tests and continuous integration.

booz_xform requires NetCDF, a C++ compiler, and python3. For many users, the code can be installed by executing

pip install booz_xform

For more installation options and other information, see the [booz_xform documentation here.](https://hiddensymmetries.github.io/booz_xform/)
