Welcome to the AOtools Documentation!
Introduction
AOtools is an attempt to gather together many common tools, equations and functions for Adaptive Optics. The idea is to provide an alternative to the current model, where a new AO researcher must write their own library of tools, many of which implement theory and ideas that have been in existance for over 20 years. AOtools will hopefully provide a common place to put these tools, which through use and bug fixes, should become reliable and well documented.
Installation
AOtools uses mainly standard library functions, and all attempts have been made to avoid adding unneccessary dependencies. Currently, the library requires only
numpy
scipy
astropy
matplotlib
