The purpose of the silx project is to provide a collection of Python packages to support the development of data assessment, reduction and analysis applications at synchrotron radiation facilities. silx aims to provide reading/writing tools for different file formats, data reduction routines and a set of Qt widgets to browse and visualise data.
The current version features:
-
Support of
HDF5 <https://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/>,SPEC <https://certif.com/spec.html>andFabIO <http://www.silx.org/doc/fabio/dev/getting_started.html#list-of-file-formats-that-fabio-can-read-and-write>_ images file formats. -
OpenCL-based data processing: image alignment (SIFT), image processing (median filter, histogram), filtered backprojection for tomography, convolution
-
Data reduction: histogramming, fitting, median filter
-
A set of Qt widgets, including:
- 1D and 2D visualization widgets with a set of associated tools using multiple backends (matplotlib or OpenGL)
- OpenGL-based widgets to visualize data in 3D (scalar field with isosurface and cut plane, scatter plot)
- a unified browser for HDF5, SPEC and image file formats supporting inspection and visualization of n-dimensional datasets.
-
a set of applications:
- a unified viewer (silx view filename) for HDF5, SPEC and image file formats
- a unified converter to HDF5 format (silx convert filename)
