  • plot: plotting tools. GOL (Graphics in One Line) contain functions to make easily simple plots using matplotlib.
  • synchrotron sources: srfunc contains functions to calculate synchrotron emission of bending magnets and wigglers.
  • util:
    • data_structors: igor-like data structures.
    • h5_simple_writer: simple writer for hdf5 files.
    • inverse_method_sampler: classes for generating random numbers following given 1D, 2D and 3D probability distribution functons
