PyVisualFields 1.0.4

A python toolkit for visual field analysis

PyVisualFields

A python tool collection for analyzing visual fields

This packages includes functions for visuald field analysis and display.

https://pypi.org/project/PyVisualFields/

We use the rpy2 as the python wrapper to use R in Python. Then, we define and prepare the methods to call the methods and data implemented and introduced in R packages vfprogression (by Elze et al. [1]) and visualFields (by Marin-Granch et al. [2]). We write these functions in python language and demonstrate their functionalities in four categories of presenting data, plotting, scoring and progression analysis, and normalization analysis. For each category, we provide the examples, description of each function, associated requirements, and the output of that function in Jupyter notebooks.

Demo jupyter notebooks

The list and description of all functions are available at All_Functions. They are all examined and introduced with examples in 4 different notebooks categorized:

• Data demo_1_Data.ipynb
• Normalization and deviation analysis demo_2_Deviation_Analysis.ipynb
• Plotting demo_3_Plotting.ipynb
• Analysis demo_4_Analysis.ipynb

Installation:

This python package depends on

• R
• rpy2 python package
• vfprogression R package
• visualFields R package

Make sure to install them before installing this PyVisualFields package:

• If you want to create a seperate conda environment and install everything from scratch follow this guidline: readme_Installation_conda.md or this video installation_video

• If you have your preinstalled R or rpy2, follow the steps provided in our guideline: readme_Installation.md

list of functions

The list and description of all functions are as follow. They are all examined and introduced with examples in 4 different notebooks. It is important to mention that, based on the background R packages, the input VF dataframe needs to have columns with special column names. Make sure, to consider the data notebook. If further information is required, see the corresponding references: vfprogression[1], visualFields[2]
