 # Usage 
 
-Here is an example on how to extract the cycle index polynomial (p_g) and number of distinct first coordination polyhedron (nms) for the fcc crystal structure with a number of ntypes = 3 chemical element. Additonal graph geometries can be defined in ``polya/_src/graphs.py``. This example can be found in the ``examples`` folder.
