Frame Theory

FrameTheory.jl is a collection of tool for working with Frames in Julia. A large portion of this package uses the Julia Package Oscar.jl.

Current FrameTheory.jl Functionality

Algorithms

This package implements a variety of algorithms for each of the above types of frames.

Binder Finder

Projective Symmetry Groups

Getting Started

Please refer to the Oscar.jl installation instructions here.

Activate and load this package: In the FrameTheory directory

pkg> activate .
pkg> instantiate  # Press ']' to enter the Pkg REPL mode.

Or by running using Pkg; Pkg.activate("."); Pkg.instantiate();.

Then

julia> using FrameTheory; using Oscar;

Since Oscar is used through FrameTheory.jl it is reccommended to also load it.
