silx toolkit

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, SPEC and FabIO 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

      silxView

    • a unified converter to HDF5 format (silx convert filename)
