## Overview

**SFILES 2.0** is an open-source Python package for converting process flow diagrams (PFDs) and piping and instrumentation diagrams (P\&IDs) into an extended text-based representation. This package is developed in conjunction with the paper:

> *[SFILES 2.0: An extended text-based flowsheet representation](https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11081-023-09798-9)*

The repository provides tools for:

* Representing flowsheets as graphs
* Converting graphs to SFILES 2.0 strings and back
* Demonstrating the notation rules, structure, and conversion algorithm for SFILES 2.0

## Installation

Install the package via pip:

```bash
pip install SFILES2
```

To explore the source code and examples:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/process-intelligence-research/SFILES2.git
cd SFILES2
pip install .
```

## Demonstrations

Use the following to explore SFILES 2.0 capabilities:

* Run the Jupyter notebook `demonstration.ipynb`
* Or execute `run_demonstration.py` for a CLI-based example

These demonstrate SFILES 2.0 strings for a variety of PFDs and P\&IDs.
