Paintbox documentation¶
Overview¶
The paintbox package provides a flexible modeling toolbox for spectroscopic
and SED fitting of astronomical observations. The paintbox is designed to allow easy
construction of very general models by the combination of a few basic
classes of objects that compose the spectral features, such as stellar
populations, emission lines, extinction laws, etc, with a high degree of
customization. This is a an open-source project, and contributions to
improve/ extend its capabilities are welcome! If you are using the code and /
or plans to contribute, please let me know by email at <mailto:kadu
.barbosa@gmail.com>. Please, also follow the code to keep tunned on new
features, bug fixes and other info at `www.github.com/cebarbosa/paintbox>`_.
Installation¶
To obtain the most recent version of paintbox, we recommend the
installation from the source code:
git clone https://github.com/cebarbosa/paintbox.git
cd paintbox
python setup.py install
Alternatively, installation of paintbox is available with pip:
pip install paintbox
Installation requires numpy, scipy, astropy, spectres, and tqdm. The code has been developed in Python 3.7. The tutorials also require other packages including ppxf, matplotlib, and emcee.
