Missing STMulator and STMgenerator in pyPPSTM

[BawnLuo]

I'm currently working with the code from the publication "Automated Structure Discovery for Scanning Tunneling Microscopy" available at https://github.com/SINGROUP/ASD-STM/tree/main and its corresponding paper at https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsnano.3c12654?goto=supporting-info.
In the generate_data.py file, there are import statements: from ppstm.pyPPSTM import STMulator, STMgenerator. However, when I checked the pyPPSTM module, I couldn't find the definitions for STMulator and STMgenerator. It's unclear whether these are missing due to an oversight during code organization.
This lack of code definitions is causing issues for me when trying to run the data generation process. If these functions are indeed necessary, it would be great if they could be added back to the pyPPSTM module. If they are no longer needed, it would be helpful to remove the import statements to avoid confusion for other users.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Hi @BawnLuo

Thanks for bringing this up. I will be back at work next week, and then I can give more details but for the time being, you can find these classes in the dev_generator branch in pyPPSTM/STMulator.py and pyPPSTM/STMGenerator.py.

Best,
Lauri

Thanks for your reply. But I still can't find the dev_generator branch. I'm not sure where to look for it. Is there a specific way or place I should check? It would be great if you could give me some more guidance on how to access this branch so that I can find the STMulator and STMGenerator classes.
