HE60-PyMagister:

PyMagister is a Python interface of Hydro Light MacOS version. It is useful to bypass the graphic user interface of HydroLight. It is then possible to run many simulations without any human intervention. This Python interface is also intented to work with a modified version of HydroLight that includes a "SeaIceIOP" mode. This homemade mode enables the use of depth dependant discretized phase function (dddpf).

Please note that knowledge of HydroLight is necessary in order to fully exploit the features of this interface.
