MEGPy: Magnetic Equilibrium Geometry Python

MEGPy is a package for quick extraction of (local) equilibrium quantities and visualisation of 2D magnetic equilibria used in magnetic confinement fusion research. It offers both a command line interface (CLI) and Python API.

Getting started

To get MEGPy clone and install the latest version:

$ git clone https://github.com/gsnoep/megpy.git
$ cd megpy
$ pip install --user -e .

To use MEGPy call the CLI:

$ python -m megpy <file_path> <parameterization> <x_fs>

For details on the CLI options:

$ python -m megpy -h

Or use the Python API, of which some examples can be found in /examples/.
