Gyoto aims at providing a framework for computing orbits and ray-traced images in general relativity. it consists in a shared library (this package), utility programs (in the gyoto package), and a plug-in for the yorick and python 2 and 3 programing languages (in yorick-gyoto, python-gyoto and python3-gyoto respectively). gyoto can be extended with plug-ins (see libgyoto4-dev).

mpi parallelization requires the gyoto and mpi-default-bin packages.
