Credits

This package was initially created as part of yt, with the first iteration written by Chuck Rozhon. The conversion to use traitlets, pyglet and a more flexible shader interface was done by Matthew Turk, with contributions from Kacper Kowalik and Chris Havlin.

This package was created with Cookiecutter and the ``audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage` <https://github.com/audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage>`_ project template.
