Select an element to browse its physical data, search by symbol or name to jump straight to it, and open <strong>Tools</strong> for legacy element utilities, now rebuilt for GTK4.</p> <p>Core atomic and thermal properties come from a bundled snapshot of the <a href="https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/periodic-table/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PubChem periodic table</a>. Some specialist crystal, electrical and nuclear values are older data still being checked source by source, so treat those as provisional.</p> <h2 id="quick-start">Quick Start</h2> <p>Ptbl needs Python 3 with PyGObject and GTK 4 (<code>gtk4</code> and <code>python3-gobject</code> on Fedora; <code>gir1.2-gtk-4.0</code> and <code>python3-gi</code> on Debian/Ubuntu).</p> <div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" class="chroma"><code class="language-bash" data-lang="bash"><span class="line"><span class="cl">python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/mavens-group/Ptbl.git </span></span><span class="line"><span class="cl">ptbl </span></span></code></pre></div>
