Description: # Dispersion
        
        The **dispersion** Python package provides a way of loading and evaluating files
        containing the dispersion of the refractive index of materials.

        ## Background
        
        In optics, the phenomenon that the refractive index depends upon the
        frequency is called the phenomenon of dispersion, because it is the basis
        of the fact that light is "dispersed" by a prism into a spectrum.

        ## Getting Started
        
        Python is required to install and use the **dispersion** package. It
        is recommended to use a package manager such as pip to install the package.
        ::
        
          > pip install dispersion
        
        now we need to tell the package where you are going to store the material data
        files. To do this we run the script that comes with the package
        ::
        
          > setup_dispersion
        
        This script will ask you to type in the path to a folder where the database
        file structure will be installed. Secondly, you will be asked to
        name the database. Finally you will be asked if you would like to install
        the available modules.
        
        Now that the database has been setup, we can start using the package. For
        examples and further documentation, see the related pages.
