Learn by example with the Tutorial module

The TUTORIAL module in OMFIT comes with a series of sample scripts that illustrate some common functionalities used in physics modules. The source code is available within OMFIT by importing the TUTORIAL module (File > Import modules > TUTORIAL) just like other physics modules.
