<p><strong>
pNbody
</strong>
is a parallelized python module toolbox designed to manipulate and display
interactively very lage N-body systems.
</p>
<p>
Its oriented object approche allows the user to perform complicate manipulation
with only very few commands.
</p>
<p>
As python is an interpreted language, the user can load an N-body system and explore it
interactively using the python interpreter. pNbody may also be used in python scripts.
</p>
<p>
The module also contains graphical facilities desinged to create maps of physical values of
the system, like density maps, temperture maps, velocites maps, etc. Stereo capabilities are
also implemented.
</p>
<p>
pNbody is not limited by file format. Each user may redefine in a parameter file how to read
its prefered format.
</p>
<p>
Its new parallel (mpi) facilities make it works on computer cluster without being limitted by
memory consumption. It has already been tested with several millions of particles.
