Description: dynasor
        =======
        
        **dynasor** is a tool for calculating total and partial dynamic structure factors as well as related correlation functions from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations.
        Analysis of these functions enables one to access the dynamics of a system without resorting to perturbative approaches.
        By combining in particular the structure factor with the cross sections (or form factors) of, e.g., neutrons, X-rays or electrons, it is even possible to directly predict experimental spectra.
        
        The main input consists of a trajectory from a MD simulation, i.e., a file containing snapshots of the particle coordinates, and optionally velocities that correspond to consecutively and equally spaced points in (simulation) time.
        **dynasor** provides both python and a command line interface.
        The following snippet illustrates how one can calculate dynamic structure factors using the former::
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
           traj = Trajectory('dump.xyz', trajectory_format='extxyz')
           q_points = generate_spherical_qpoints(traj.cell, q_max=20)
           sample = compute_dynamic_structure_factors(traj, q_points=q_points, dt=5, window_size=100)
           sample.write_to_npy('test.npy')
        
        **dynasor** can be installed via `pip <https://pypi.org/project/dynasor/>`_ or `conda <https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/dynasor>`_.
        Please consult the `installation section of the user guide <https://dynasor.materialsmodeling.org/installation.html>`_ for details.
