Welcome to xBOUT’s documentation!

xbout provides an interface for collecting the output data from a BOUT++ simulation into an xarray dataset in an efficient and scalable way, as well as accessor methods for common BOUT++ analysis and plotting tasks.

Currently only in alpha (until 1.0 released) so please report any bugs, and feel free to raise issues asking questions or making suggestions.

Installation

With pip:

pip install --user xbout

or conda:

conda install -c conda-forge xbout

You can run the tests by running pytest --pyargs xbout.

xBOUT will install the required python packages when you run one of the above install commands if they are not already installed on your system.

Examples
