About PyQtGraph

PyQtGraph is a pure-python graphics and GUI library built on PyQt/PySide and NumPy. It is intended for use in mathematics/scientific/engineering applications. Despite being written entirely in python, the library is very fast due to its heavy leverage of NumPy for number crunching and Qt's GraphicsView framework for fast display. PyQtGraph is distributed under the MIT open-source license. Basic 2D plotting in interactive view boxes. Line and scatter plots. Data can be panned/scaled by mouse. Fast drawing for real-time data display and interaction. Displays most data types (int or float; any bit depth; RGB, RGBA, or luminance). Functions for slicing multidimensional images at arbitrary angles (great for MRI data). Rapid update for video display or real-time interaction. Image display with interactive lookup tables and level control. Mesh rendering with isosurface generation. Interactive viewports rotate/zoom with mouse. Basic 3D scenegraph for easier programming.

The ROOT data analysis framework is used much in High Energy Physics (HEP) and has its own output format (.root). ROOT can be easily interfaced with software written in C++. For software tools in Python there exists pyROOT. Unfortunately, pyROOT does not work well with python3.4. broot is a small library that converts data in python numpy ndarrays to ROOT files containing trees with a branch for each array. The goal of this library is to provide a generic way of writing python numpy datastructures to ROOT files. The library should be portable and supports both python2, python3, ROOT v5 and ROOT v6 (requiring no modifications on the ROOT part, just the default installation). Installation of the library should only require a user to compile to library once or install it as a python package.

NumPy
NumPy
Fast and versatile, the NumPy vectorization, indexing, and broadcasting concepts are the de-facto standards of array computing today. NumPy offers comprehensive mathematical functions, random number generators, linear algebra routines, Fourier transforms, and more. NumPy supports a wide range of hardware and computing platforms, and plays well with distributed, GPU, and sparse array libraries. The core of NumPy is well-optimized C code. Enjoy the flexibility of Python with the speed of compiled code. NumPy’s high level syntax makes it accessible and productive for programmers from any background or experience level. NumPy brings the computational power of languages like C and Fortran to Python, a language much easier to learn and use. With this power comes simplicity: a solution in NumPy is often clear and elegant.

imageio
imageio
Imageio is a Python library that provides an easy interface to read and write a wide range of image data, including animated images, volumetric data, and scientific formats. It is cross-platform, runs on Python 3.5+, and is easy to install. Imageio is written in pure Python, so installation is easy. Imageio works on Python 3.5+. It also works on Pypy. Imageio depends on Numpy and Pillow. For some formats, imageio needs additional libraries/executables (e.g. ffmpeg), which imageio helps you to download/install. If something doesn’t work as it should, you need to know where to search for causes. The overview on this page aims to help you in this regard by giving you an idea of how things work, and - hence - where things may go sideways.

h5py
h5py
The h5py package is a Pythonic interface to the HDF5 binary data format. It lets you store huge amounts of numerical data, and easily manipulate that data from NumPy. For example, you can slice into multi-terabyte datasets stored on disk, as if they were real NumPy arrays. Thousands of datasets can be stored in a single file, categorized and tagged however you want. H5py uses straightforward NumPy and Python metaphors, like dictionary and NumPy array syntax. For example, you can iterate over datasets in a file, or check out the .shape or .dtype attributes of datasets. You don't need to know anything special about HDF5 to get started. In addition to the easy-to-use high level interface, h5py rests on a object-oriented Cython wrapping of the HDF5 C API. Almost anything you can do from C in HDF5, you can do from h5py.
