Welcome to PyPLUTO’s documentation!

PyPLUTO is a Python library which loads and plots the data obtain from the PLUTO code simulations. The aim of this package is to simplify some non-trivial python routines in order to quickly recover effective plots that are suited for scientific publications.

Note

This project is under active development.
