The Chest Imaging Platform (CIP) is an open-source package for image-based analysis and phenotyping of chest CT. The toolbox is developed and maintained by the Applied Chest Imaging Laboratory ACIL at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School.
CIP is written in both C++ and python and provides both core classes as well as com- mand line tools that form the basis of the computational components. The library design is such that allows for extensibility so other groups and developers can contribute to the project

For C++ code, we follow [ITK Coding Style Guide] 1. For python code, we follow the [PEP 8 - Style Guide for Python Code] 2. Highlights and additional ChestImagingPlatform-specifc guidelines for C++ code are as follows
- Avoid white space immediately inside brackets, braces and parentheses
- Avoid white space immediately before a comma, semicolon, or colon
- Don't use spaces around the = sign when used to indicate a keyword argument or a default parameter value
- Use '//' for each line of a comment block, followed by a space, followed by a capitalized letter if beginning a sentence or phrase. This pertains to comments not meant to appear in the documentation.
- Follow Doxygen style comments as per recommendations in the [ITK Coding Style Guide] 1 where appropriate
- Use one space immediately before and after: +, -, <<, >>, &&, ||, +=, *=, -=, =, ==, <, >, =
