        GeomEppy is a scripting language for use with Eppy, which in turn is a scripting language for EnergyPlus IDF files and output files.
        
        It primarily adds functions to do with IDF geometry, including zones, surfaces, constructions, etc.
        
        ##Installation
        
        GeomEppy requires Numpy, Shapely, and optionally Matplotlib.
        
        Once these requirements are met, to install GeomEppy for Python 2.7 or 3.6 call `pip install geomeppy`.
        
        ##API
        
        The API for GeomEppy depends on replacing an Eppy IDF object with a GeomEppy IDF object. To use this, you will need to import IDF from GeomEppy rather than directly from Eppy.
        
        In your scripts, use `from geomeppy import IDF` instead of `from eppy.modeleditor import IDF`. All other features of the current release version of Eppy will still be available.
        
        GeomEppy then provides a simple Python API for actions on the IDF object:
        
        - Intersecting and matching surfaces
        
        `IDF.intersect()  # intersects all surfaces`
        
        `IDF.match()  # sets boundary conditions of surfaces`
        
        `IDF.intersect_match()  # intersect surfaces then set/update boundary conditions`
        
        - Moving an IDF
        
        `IDF.translate_to_origin()  # move the whole IDF close to 0,0 on the x, y axes` 
        
        `IDF.translate([50, 20])  # move the whole IDF to x + 50, y + 20`
        
        `IDF.translate([0, 0, 10])  # move the whole IDF to z + 10`
        
        - Adding windows to external walls
        
        `IDF.set_wwr(wwr=0.25)  # set a WWR of 25% for all external walls`
        
        - Setting constructions
        
        `IDF.set_default_constructions()  # set a name for each construction in the model`
         
        - Viewing a simple 3D representation of an IDF
        
        `IDF.view_model()  # shows a zoomable, rotatable transparent model`
        
        - Get all surfaces in a model
        
        `IDF.getsurfaces()`
        
        - Get all surfaces in a model of a given type
        
        `IDF.getsurfaces('wall')  # only works if the surface type has been set in the IDF`
        
        - Get all subsurfaces in a model
        
        `IDF.getsubsurfaces()`
        
        - Get all subsurfaces in a model of a given type
        
        `IDF.getsubsurfaces('window')  # only works if the surface type has been set in the IDF`
        
        - Automatic geometry building
        
        `IDF.add_block(...)  # automatically adds a building block to the IDF`
        
        This method requires some explanation. The parameters required are:
        
            name : str
                A name for the block.
            coordinates : list
                A list of (x, y) tuples representing the building outline.
            height : float
                The height of the block roof above ground level.
            num_stories : int, optional
                The total number of stories including basement stories. Default : 1.
            below_ground_stories : int, optional
                The number of stories below ground. Default : 0.
            below_ground_storey_height : float, optional
                The height of each basement storey. Default : 2.5.
        	zoning : str, optional
        		The rules to use in creating zones. Currently the only option is `by_storey` which sets each storey in the block as a Zone.
        
        The block generated will have boundary conditions set correctly and any intersections with adjacent blocks will be handled automatically.
        The surface type will be set to `wall`, `floor`, `ceiling` or `roof` for each surface.
        Constructions are not set automatically so these will need to be added afterwards in the normal way for Eppy.
        
        ## Other functions
        
        GeomEppy also provides some additional functions such as `surface.setcoords(...)`
        
        ```
        wall = idf.newidfobject(
            'BUILDINGSURFACE:DETAILED', 'awall',
            Surface_Type = 'wall')
        wall.setcoords([(0,0,1),(0,0,0),(1,0,0),(1,0,1)])
        ```
        
        ##Forthcoming
        
        - Scaling and rotating buildings and blocks
        - Geometry validation and correction
        - Geometry simplification
        - Better geometry visualisation
