is a python2, shell-based, scientific simulation program for blood flow in mammals!

• vascular network creator - vnc - is a shell-based tool to create arterial networks for the simulation tool STARFiSh.
• VascularPolynomialChaos - is a module allowing users to simulate blood flow subject to uncertainties in model parameters
• Visualisation - is a module relying on GTK to allow visualisation of the results from simulations both as 2D and 3D plots of pressures, flows, areas, etc. throughout the simulated network.

• To get started with starfish download the code to your desired location
• There are two scripts ubuntu_dependencies.sh and fedora_dependencies.sh that should install the required dependencies. (Note these likely require administrator privileges
• Check the status of the install with python systemCheck.py
• You should be able to start with python starfish.py in the same director as you have downloaded the files
• When you first run starfish.py it will ask you to create a working directory. This working directory is where all output from simulations and network creation will be saved.

For programmers going to work on this code:

The standard convention for writing Python code: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/

Using Sphinx with some extensions, docstrings in the code will be used to autogenerate documentation. To generate it, enter the AutoDocumentation folder and run "make html". If you've altered modules, run "make clean" first. If you've altered module names, folders, or top level modules, edit AutoDocumentation/sources/index.rst accordingly, and then run "make fullupdate".

We will use a slightly modified Google standard for writing docstrings. (return is different)

def foo(input1, input2):
	"""
	describe function here
	
	Args:
		input1 (type): description of input1
		input2 (type): description of input2
	
	Returns:   ### This has different syntax depending ###
               ### on how many outputs it has.         ###

        type of soleOutput: description of soleOutput

		type of output1
			description of output1
		type of output2
			description of output2
	
	Raises:
		IOError: An error occured loading myClass.myStuff
