Quick Start
This brief tutorial goes through the most minimal code you could write to do an orbit fit with orbitize!. It uses an input .csv that was placed on your computer when you installed orbitize!. The file lives here:
[1]:
import orbitize
path_to_file = "{}GJ504.csv".format(orbitize.DATADIR)
print(path_to_file)
/home/sblunt/Projects/orbitize/orbitize/example_data/GJ504.csv
The input .csv file looks like this:
[2]:
from orbitize import read_input
read_input.read_file(path_to_file)
