Description: # porE
        PORosity Evaluation tool  
        
        Main developer: 
        
        * Kai Trepte 
        
        Sidekick:  
        
        * Sebastian Schwalbe 
        
        Coding language: 
        
        * FORTRAN (no GUI)
        * FORTRAN, Python (with GUI)
        
        ## Installation (global pip installation)
        ```bash 
        pip3 install porE
        ```
        
        ## Installation (local pip installation)
        ```bash 
        $ git clone https://github.com/kaitrepte/porE
        $ cd porE
        $ pip3 install -e .
        ```
        
        ### Running the code
        There are three calculations types one can choose from:
        
        * OSA : Overlapping sphere approach. Calculates the porosity via two-body overlaps of spheres.
        * GPA : Grid point approach. Void and accessible porosity are calculated using a grid in the unit cell.
        * PSD : Pore size distribution. Using a Monte-Carlo scheme, the pore size distribution is calculated.
        
        To run the code, go to the *examples* folder. The file run_porE.py contains examples for the execution on the non-GUI level.
        The file run_GUI.py will execute the graphical user interface, including all functionalities.
        
        Special thanks goes to Sebastian Schwalbe for writing the GUI and for many other useful discussions.
        
        ## Additional information
        Limitations: Some elements regarding their vdW radii are not implemented yet. 
        More will be done in the future.
