Welcome to the flatsurf software suite!

The flatsurf software suite is a collection of mathematical software libraries to study translation surfaces and related objects. It consists of:

• e-antic for real embedded number fields,
• exact-real for exact real numbers,
• intervalxt for interval exchange transformations,
• flatsurf, surface-dynamics, sage-flatsurf for translation surfaces,
• veerer veering triangulations of surfaces and their flat structures, and
• vue-flatsurf, ipyvue-flatsurf for visualization.
