Welcome to the LSST project Simulations Group's MAF contributions wiki!

If you have a nice demo of the Metric Analysis Framework code in action in your science area, please add it to the list below. If you want to run the examples yourself, don't forget to start your session with:

loadLSST.csh
setup sims_maf -t sims
setup sims_maf_contrib

and you'll need to download an opsim SQL database to the examples directory. If this wiki and its links don't give you enough information to get started, you'd better write an issue.
