 ## Concept 
 
 Polytope is designed to enable extraction of arbitrary extraction of data from a datacube. Instead of the typical range-based bounding-box approach, Polytope can extract any shape of data from a datacube using a "polytope" (*n*-dimensional polygon) stencil.

 The Polytope algorithm can for example be used to extract:
 
 - 2D cut-outs, such as country cut-outs, from a datacube

 - timeseries from a datacube

 ## Testing
 
-<!-- #### Git Large File Storage
-
-Polytope uses Git Large File Storage (LFS) to store large data files used in its tests and examples. 
-To run the tests and examples, it is thus necessary to install Git LFS, by following instructions provided [here](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/working-with-files/managing-large-files/installing-git-large-file-storage) for example. 
-Once Git LFS is installed, individual data files can be downloaded using the command

 #### Additional Dependencies
 
 The Polytope tests and examples require additional Python packages compared to the main Polytope algorithm.
