You can get help with LightPipes for Python in several ways:

  1. Visit our Github site

  1. Help for a specific command can be obtained at the Python prompt.

    For example, to display the help for the Begin command, type at the Pythom prompt:

    The response is:

    Help on built-in function Begin:
    
    Begin(...) method of LightPipes._LightPipes.Init instance
        F = Begin(GridSize, Wavelength, N)
    
        :ref:`Creates a plane wave (phase = 0.0, amplitude = 1.0). <Begin>`
    
        Args::
    
            GridSize: size of the grid
            Wavelength: wavelength of the field
            N: N x N grid points (N must be even)
    
        Returns::
    
            F: N x N square array of complex numbers (1+0j).
    
        Example:
    
        :ref:`Diffraction from a circular aperture <Diffraction>`
    
    >>>
