        Welcome to Beampy's documentation!
        ==================================
        
        Beampy is a python module based on the Beam Propagation Method [#bpm]_
        used to compute light propagation into a varying refractive index.
        The light propagation is done by the bpm module.
        An user interface - done using Qt desginer - allows to control the parameters
        and display the results.
        
        This project was initiate by Jonathan Peltier and Marcel Soubkovsky during a
        master university course from the PAIP master of the université de Lorraine,
        under the directive of Pr. Nicolas Fressengeas.
        
        The bpm core codes are mainly based on a compilation of MatLab codes initialy
        developed by Régis Grasser during his PhD thesis [#thesis]_,
        and later modified at the FEMTO-ST institute of the Université de
        Franche-Comté and at the LMOPS laboratory [#lmops]_ of the
        Université de Lorraine.

        Installation
        ============
        
        This package can be download in a python environment using pip install::
        
            pip install beampy
        
        Or by downloading the github folder and setting beampy as a PYTHONPATH.
        If so, make sure to download Qt5, matplotlib and numpy by using this command
        in the docs folder::
        
            pip install -r requirements.txt
        
        
        Starting the software
        =====================
        
        To start the Beampy interface, import beampy and start the open_app function::
        
            import beampy
            beampy.open_app()
        
        Or open direclty the user_interface.py file to launch the interface.
        Or even open the bpm.py to have a non-based interface version.
