Core
=====

This submodule contains the core functions for the ``atom_access`` package, and primarily contains convenience functions
for the calculation of a ray trace through a set of atoms, and the clustering of rays.

In particular, the ``trace_rays`` function is used to calculate the intersection of a set of rays with a set of atoms,
and the ``cluster_rays`` function is used to cluster the rays based on their intersection points.
