Examples

This page and its subpages show some examples using the pMuTT code. There are several formats available.

To run examples on Binder, simply click the logo and wait for the session to be initialized.

To run examples on HTML, Jupyter, or Python, it is recommended to download the ZIP folder. This will contain other files (like spreadsheets) that may be required for the code to run.

If a link leads to a page of text, right-click any empty space on that page and choose “Save Page As”. It will download to your computer in the appropriate format.

The pros and cons of each format are listed below.
