        PyCanvass is an open source simulation software for computing resiliency of Smart Grid and power systems critical infrastructure.
        It has a unique resiliency computation engine, and it enables integration with other industry-standard power system simulation software like GridLAB-D, and Real-Time Digital Simulators.
        
        PyCanvass was developed by `Sayonsom Chanda
        <https://linkedin.com/in/sayonsom>`_, at Washington State University - and is still maintained by him. If you have any questions, or find bugs - please email: sayon@ieee.org
        
        
        Typical Use-Cases
        =================
        
        - Easy power system modeling â€“ you can use it to quickly build GridLAB-D Models.
        - Data-driven Disaster response design (through reconfiguration algorithms)
        - Cyber-physical power grid simulations
        - Resource optimization during extreme events
        - Resiliency computation (also, design your own resiliency metric)
        - Connect with digital real-time simulators, like RTDS, Opal-RT.
        - Simulate cyber attacks for education/research purposes
        
        
        Installation
        ============
        Using `pip` 
        -----------
        
        These installations are stable and well-supported. The most preferred way of installing PyCanvass is using `pip`:
        
        .. code-block::
        
            pip install pycanvass
        
        
        If you have previously installed PyCanvass, it is recommended to frequently
        
        .. code-block::
        
            pip uninstall pycanvass
            pip install --upgrade pycanvass
        
        
        Build Your Own
        --------------
        These installations have the freshest code, but it may contain bugs. Please follow the steps:
        
        1. Download this repository as a Zip file.
        2. Extract it to a location of your choice.
        3. Change directory to the folder in Command Prompt, and run 
        
        .. code-block::
            
            python setup.py install
        
        Assumes you have Python installed and already set to your path.
        
        Simulation of unfavorable events and risk estimation of power system infrastructure
        ===================================================================================
        
        
        Tropical Storm
        --------------
        
        In an imaginary simple distribution system that has 8 loads downstream of a substation, and is faced with sustained wind gusts of 97 mph, and anticipates upto 10 ft of water logging - what's the risk to the power grid infrastructure?
        
        With 4 lines of code, PyCanvass can help solve these kinds of problem.
        
        .. image:: https://s8.postimg.cc/rx65jrzpx/tropical_storm_97_mph_10_ft_water.png
        
        The data set is available in the 'demo_data' folder. The code to obtain the above results is:
        
            .. code-block:: python
        
                from pycanvass.all import *
                project, nodes, edges = load_project()
                network = build_network(nodes,edges)
                mygraph = network["normal"]
                node_risk_calculation(mygraph, title="Tropical Storm: Wind Speeds upto 97 mph, 10 ft water logging")
        
        Getting Started Guide
        =====================
        
        [Full documentation is coming soon]
        
        *Your first pyCanvass program* 
        
        We try to make this library accessible to non-programmers, programming beginners, non-power engineers, as well as the most hardened software-professionals. Feel free to read in detail of each step, or skip - as appropriate for your skill-level. 
        
        - Make sure you have the latest versions of pyCanvass, Python, and GridLAB-D installed correctly.
        - Create a new folder, and inside that include a user_preferences.json file, and project_config.json file. Examples of these are in the demo-data. 
        - Also download the example node-file.csv, node-file.csv, and threat-file.csv - and keep them in the same folder.
        - Using any text editor (like Notepad++ or VS Code or Sublime Text), open the project_config.json file.
        - Edit the data section of the project_config file, replacing the paths mentioned in the nodes, edges, and threat section of the file with the file path of where you just placed the node-file.csv, edge-file.csv, and threat-file.csv.
        - In your text editor, open a new file and save as "mymodel.py"
        - In mymodel.py, write:
        
           .. code-block:: python
            
            from pycanvass.all import *
            project, nodes, edges = load_project()
        
        - Now you are ready to perform network Vulnerability analysis. If you want to find the least risk path, i.e. the most resilient path, from a node, say F1_2 in the node-file.csv in the sample to another node, F2_3, just add the following code to your program above:
            
            .. code-block:: python
        
                paths = path_search(mygraph, 'F1_2', 'F2_3', criterion="least_risk")
                print(paths)
