# Welcome to pylocus, a python localization package

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/LCAV/pylocus.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/LCAV/pylocus)
[![Documentation Status](https://readthedocs.org/projects/pylocus/badge/?version=latest)](https://pylocus.readthedocs.io/en/latest/?badge=latest)

This package contains Multidimensional Scaling, lateration, and other algorithms useful for localization using distances and/or angles.

## Local install

Since this package is in an early development phase, this is the recommended install method.
The latest updates will not always be immediately available on pip, they will be bundled
in the next package release. By keeping the local git repository up-to-date and redoing the local install
regularly, you can be sure to be using the latest version.

To perform a local install on your computer, run from this folder level (where setup.py is located):

```bash

pip install -e .

```

This installs the package using symbolic links, avoiding the need for a reinstall whenever the source code is changed.
If you use conda, then

```bash
conda develop .
```

does the same trick.

## Install

To install from [pip](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pylocus), simply run :

```bash
pip install pylocus
```

## Documentation

This is a constantly growing package and documentation is work-in-progress. The current version can be found on [ReadTheDocs](http://pylocus.readthedocs.org/en/latest/)

See the tutorials folder for some exmaple scripts on how to use this package. More scripts will be added soon.
