FlowUtils 0.9.0

Flow Cytometry Standard Utilities

FlowUtils

FlowUtils is a Python package containing various utility functions related to flow cytometry analysis, primarily focused on compensation and transformation tasks commonly used within the flow community.

FlowUtils is part of a suite of Python libraries for analyzing flow cytometry data. It was developed as an extension to the light-weight FlowIO library. FlowIO reads and writes Flow Cytometry Standard (FCS) files, and has zero dependencies. For higher level interaction with flow cytometry data, including GatingML & FlowJo 10 support, see the related FlowKit project.

Installation

FlowUtils implements several transformation functions as C extensions for increased performance on large arrays of FCS event data. NumPy is required to compile these C extensions prior to installing FlowUtils.

From PyPI

FlowUtils is available via the pip command. However, NumPy must be installed prior in order to compile the C extensions.

pip install numpy
pip install flowutils

From GitHub source code

pip install numpy

git clone https://github.com/whitews/flowutils
cd flowutils

python setup.py install
