Tutorials

Here you can find tutorials that will help you get started with pyc2ray. The scripts can be find on GitHub, here.

These scripts will help you familiarize yourself with the memory usage and speed-up of the new ray-tracing code, so you can optimize your runs. They also provide explanations of the source and sink models implemented in pyc2ray, an example script to define your own models, and a first example showing how to set up a cosmological simulation.
