 Dear macports developers,

 Gyoto aims at providing a framework for computing orbits and ray-traced
 images in General relativity. It consists in a C++ shared library
 (libgyoto), utility programs (gyoto, gyotoy), and a plug-in for the Yorick
 programming language. Gyoto can be extended with plug-ins.

 To test the software:

  - run {{{gyotoy}}} (mind the final "y") from the command-line. A window
 will be displayed, representing the orbit of a star around a Kerr black-
 hole.

  - unpack the source and go to ${worksrcpath}/doc/examples. You can ray-
 trace the XML sceneries (except the two "rotstar" ones) with:
 {{{
 for file in * ; do gyoto $file ${file%xml}fits; done
 }}}
  The result will be a bunch of FITS images which you can look at using a
 FITS viewer, for instance spydr from the yorick-spydr port:
 {{{
 spydr *.fits
 }}}
  You will see the gravitationally-lensed image of a number of objects in
 the vicinity of a Kerr black-hole.

 I hope you will be able to accept this port.

 Best regards, Thibaut.
