You can adapt this file completely to your liking, but it should at least contain the root `toctree` directive. Madina ============ Madina *(Arabic for the word 'city')* is a package of classes and functions to streamline the representation and analysis of urban networks. The package includes a python implemetation of the **Urban Network Analysis** tools (`Homepage `_). The source code for Madina is available `on github `_. .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 :caption: Installation Guides: installation_guide Referencing in Your Research ======================================= To reference this package in your research, you can cite the paper available on SSRN: * Sevtsuk, A., & Alhassan, A.

This can be done by following these steps: * Prepare input data files for the network, and each origin and destination. Place all data in a folder called ``Cities/city_name/Data`` * Fill in the pairing table to specify origin-destination pairs, and specify specific parameters for each pair. Save the filled pairing table in the same ``Cities/city_name/Data`` folder * run the simulation:: from madina.una.betweenness import betweenness_flow_simulation betweenness_flow_simulation( city_name="new_york" ) * Output would be saved in ``Cities/city_name/Simulations``. * More instructions on running a pedestrain flow simulation, preparing data and creating the pairing table are found in the documentation here .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 :caption: Instructions for Preparing and Running a Simulation: ped_flow .. image:: img//flow_map_3_panels.png :width: 600 :alt: Instruction Guide .. image:: img//NYC_homes_to_amenities.jpeg :width: 600 :alt: Instruction Guide .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 5 :caption: Documentation: Package Modules, Classes and Functions madina.una madina.zonal
