Usage

To use gencmd in a project:

import gencmd

Then you would like to create a SSP object to play with:

age = 10.08   # log(age/yr)
Z = 0.015/100 # 1pct solar metallicity
mf = 'kroupa'
mycluster = gencmd.SSP(age, Z, mf=mf)

Great! Now mycluster has a lot of nice methods like:

isoc = mycluster.isoc               # The evolutionary model for the selected parameters
stars = mycluster.populate(n=10000) # Make 10000 stars

The columns on ´´isoc´´ and ´´stars´´ are the same and can be visualized using:

print(mycluster.coldict)
