Usage

From the command line

MAICoS can be used directly from the command line, by typing in a terminal:

maicos <module> <paramaters>

You can get the general help page, or a package-specific page by typing, respectively:

maicos -h

maicos <package> -h

For example, to get the help page for the maicos.DensityPlanar module, type:

maicos densityplanar -h

From the Python interpreter

MAICoS can be used within the python interpreter. In a python environment, create an analysis object by supplying an atom group from MDAnalysis as well as some (optional) parameters, then use the run method:

import maicos

ana_obj = maicos.<module>(atomgroup, <paramaters>)
ana_obj.run()

Results are available through the objects results dictionary.
