Toolkit for working with atomic and electronic structure data, built on top of the Atomistic Simulation Environment (ASE) for atomic structures.

Formats supported:

• CP2K: STM simulation, STS simulation, wave function extrapolation, reading of energy levels from CP2K output, .MOLog and .pdos files
• IGOR Pro: Reading and writing of .itx files
• Quantum ESPRESSO: Reading of some aspects from data.xml, convert intermediate format to .cube
• Yambo: Reading of ndb.QP, yambo output and o.qp files
• BerkeleyGW: Reading parts of eps0mat.h5
• Gaussian Cube Format: Reading, writing, slicing, averaging, rolling, plotting

See the scripts/ subdirectory for all stand-alone command line scripts (and run script.py -h to find out what it does).
