Schematic illustration of the code structure of PyGRO. The Metric object serves as the primary symbolic tool in PyGRO, computing all tensorial quantities required for deriving geodesic equations. The GeodesicEngine, on the other hand, is responsible for the numerical integration of these equations, acting as a worker that processes Geodesic objects. These objects encapsulate the geodesic type (e.g., null or time-like) and properly normalized initial conditions (initial coordinates and initial tangent four-vector to the geodesic), and they receive the integration results. Higher-level APIs in PyGRO, such as the Observer or the Orbit, comprising both symbolic and numerical calculations, provide a more physically intuitive approach to initializing geodesics.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
