Description: 
        MicroDrop
        =========
        
        Microdrop is a graphical user interface for the [DropBot][1] digital
        microfluidics control system (described in detail in [Fobel et al., Appl. Phys.
        Lett. 102, 193513 (2013)][2]). If you use this information in work that you
        publish, please cite as appropriate.
        
        
        Binary package dependencies
        ===========================
        
        In addition to the package dependencies listed in `setup.py`, the MicroDrop
        application requires the following Python packages to be installed:
        
         - `matplotlib`: Used to plot feedback results, etc.
         - `pygst`: Used for video-processing in the device view.
         - `pygtk`: [GTK][3] bindings for user-interface.
         - `pyopencv`: Used to transform incoming video feed to register the device in
           the device view to the overlay perspective.
         - `pymunk==2.1.0` _(*not* the latest)_: Used for detecting the electrode
           corresponding to each click on the device view
           _(i.e., [collision detection][4])_.
        
        Note that these packages contain binary components that typically prevent them
        from being installed using `easy_install` or `pip` without taking special care
        to configure the appropriate build environment.  However, there are pre-built
        binary packages available for both Windows and Linux, if you search for them.
