Odak

Odak (pronounced "O-dac") is the fundamental library for scientific computing in optical sciences, computer graphics, and visual perception. Odak is also the toolkit for the research conducted in Computational Light Laboratory. To learn more about what Odak can do to help your design, experimentation, and development, consult to our documentation!

Getting Started

Installing

For the most recent guidance on installing Odak, please consult to installation documentation. Odak can be installed using pip:

pip3 install odak

or you can follow this, but remember that it will install the latest version in the repository this way:

pip3 install git+https://github.com/kaanaksit/odak

Usage

You can import Odak and start designing your next in Optics, Computer Graphics, or Perception! We prepared a documentation on usage and much more.
