# Activeloops
Public data repository for the active loops paper published in PNAS journal.

The glotzerlab software packages used here are 
hoomd-blue: https://glotzerlab.engin.umich.edu/hoomd-blue/
glotzformats: https://glotzerlab.engin.umich.edu/glotzformats/
signac: https://signac.io/
FFMPEG: https://www.ffmpeg.org

Python version : 3.4.6

Important files that work together in a folder are:

dump.tar is the trajectory file of a simulation | read using glotzformats (now garnett)
run.py is the simulation script that generates dump.tar using HOOMD-blue
visualize.py that reads dump.tar and generates image/movie using Matplotlib / FFMPEG

signac_script.py if present in a folder, is a signac script that generates statepoints, 
which are hash-mapped folders inside the sub-folder <data>. The script also copies the files <run.py> and <visualize.py> inside the statepoint folders to be used within those.
The three main funcitons that signac_script uses are initialize_jobs, edit_files and run.
