Tools for reading and analyzing simulation snapshot files in the HDF5 format produced by the SPH simulation codes GADGET and GIZMO.

A complete description of gadfly's capabilities can be found in this paper, submitted to Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific.

This code only runs on python 2, and is only tested on python 2.7. It requires the following packages:

• numpy v1.7 or greater
• pandas
• h5py
• numba
• scipy.weave

The bolded entries are optional, needed only to take advantage of gadfly's volume rendering capabilities, and only one of the two packages is needed. After cloning or otherwise downloading the repository, type

python setup.py install

to install gadfly.

Documentation is available on Read the Docs, but is very much a work in progress at the moment.
