## Introduction

PyXtal is an open source Python package which was initiated by [Qiang Zhu](http://qzhu2017.github.io) and Scott Fredericks. The goal of PyXtal is to develop a fundamental library to allow one to design the material structure with a certain symmetry constraint. These structures can exported to various structural formats for further study. See the [documentation](https://pyxtal.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) for more information.

To contribute to this project, please check [How to contribute?](#how-to-contribute).

## Quick Start

- [Atomic crystal](https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/MaterSim/PyXtal/blob/master/examples/tutorials_notebook/01_atomic_crystals.ipynb)
- [Molecular crystal](https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/MaterSim/PyXtal/blob/master/examples/tutorials_notebook/02_molecular_crystals.ipynb)
- [XRD](https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/MaterSim/PyXtal/blob/master/examples/tutorials_notebook/03_pxrd.ipynb)
- [Molecular Packing](https://nbviewer.org/github/MaterSim/PyXtal/blob/master/examples/tutorials_notebook/05-crystal-packing.ipynb)

## Current Features

- Generation of atomic structures for a given symmetry and stoichiometry (0-3D)
- Generation of molecular crystals (1-3D) with the support of special Wyckoff positions.
- Structure manipulation via subgroup/supergroup symmetry relation
- Geometry optimization from built-in and external optimization methods.
- Internal support of ``cif`` file and many other formats via ``pymatgen`` or ``ASE``.
- Easy access to symmetry information (e.g., Wyckoff, site symmetry and international symbols).
- X-ray diffraction analysis and [its online application](https://vxrd.physics.unlv.edu)

## Installation

To install the code, one just needs to do

```sh
pip install pyxtal
```

or

```sh
pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/MaterSim/PyXtal.git@master
```

If you want to add the Julia package install (required by the use of `pyxtal.lego` module), please use

```sh
export INSTALL_JULIA=1 && pip install pyxtal 
```

To check if the installation is successful, run the following script,
```python

from juliacall import Main as jl
jl.seval("using CrystalNets")
print("Success")
```
