MASCADO

Package for analyzing geometric distortions of optical systems. This software is meant for quick-look inspection of distortion data sets.

Install

Use setuptools via

python setup.py install [--user] [--dry-run]

in the project root directory. This makes the mascado package available as import and puts the executable scripts into an appropriate directory for executables. In the output, setuptools tells you where exactly.

Dependencies are

• Python3.5 or higher
  • 3.5 or higher needed for matrix multiplication operator (@)
• Matplotlib
• NumPy >= 1.14
  • 1.14 or higher needed for encoding keyword to numpy.genfromtxt()
• SciPy
• pandas

Make sure that you are using the Python3 version of pip (explicitly pip3 ... or python3 -m pip ...) or conda, because otherwise the packages are not visible to the scripts.

Documentation

The documentation is available at https://tychons.net/mascado/
If you want to build the documentation yourself, get Sphinx and run

$ make docupdate
$ make docbuild

Then open ./docs/build/html/index.html.

Tests

There are a few unit tests for the package, though not nearly extensive. Run with

$ python -m unittest discover --start-directory tests

or

$ python setup.py test

or

$ make test
