Description: The TesseRACt package is designed to compute concentrations of simulated dark
        matter halos from volume info for particles generated using Voronoi tesselation.
        This technique is advantageous as it is non-parametric, does not assume 
        spherical symmetry, and allows for the presence of substructure. For a more
        complete description of this technique including a comparison to other 
        techniques for calculating concentration, please see the accompanying paper 
        [Lang et al. (2015)](http://arxiv.org/abs/1504.04307).
        
        This package includes:
        
         * **vorovol**: C program for computing the Voronoi diagram of particle data in 
            a number of formats including Gadget-2, Gasoline, binary, and ASCII as well
            as BGC2 halo catalogues.
         * routines for compiling, running, and parsing **vorovol** output
         * routines for computing concentrations using particles volumes, traditional 
            fitting to an NFW profile, and non-parametric techniques that assume 
            spherical symmetry.
         * routines and test halos for running many of the performance tests presented in 
            [Lang et al. (2015)](http://arxiv.org/abs/1504.04307).
