Igor2
=====

|PyPI Version| |Build Status| |Coverage Status|


Python parser for Igor Binary Waves (.ibw) and Packed Experiment
(.pxp) files written by WaveMetrics' IGOR Pro software.

Igor2 is the continuation of the inactive igor project, forked
from W. Trevor King and originally written by Paul Kienzle (see
git history).

Installation
------------
You can install igor2 via pip::

    pip install igor2

The commands ``igorbinarywave`` and ``igorpackedexperiment`` are currently
not properly implemented (see https://github.com/AFM-analysis/igor2/issues/6),
but it should be straight-forward to fix this.

To install igor2 with the command-line interface (CLI), run::

    pip install igor2[CLI]


Usage
-----
This package is a direct replacement of `igor`. Your scripts should work
without any issues if you replace::

    import igor

with::

    import igor2 as igor


See the docstrings and unit tests for examples using the Python API.

CLI
---
The package also installs to scripts, ``igorbinarywave`` and
``igorpackedexperiment`` which can be used to dump files to stdout.
For details on their usage, use the ``--help`` option.  For example::

    igorbinarywave --help


Testing
-------

Run internal unit tests with pytest::

    pip install -r tests/requirements.txt
    pytest tests

The data in the ``test/data`` directory is in the Git repository, but
it is not bundled with the source code.  If you want the test data,
you'll have to clone the Git repository or download a snapshot.
