bground 1.0.6

Interactive subtraction of background from XY-data

BGROUND :: semi-automated background subtraction

• BGROUND performs semi-automated background subtraction for XY-data.
  • XY-data = usually a file with two (or more) columns - (X-data,Y-data).
  • The user can define which columns represent the XY-data to process.
• How does it work?
  • BGROUND reads XY-data and shows them in an interactive plot.
  • The user defines background points (with a mouse + keyboard).
  • BGROUND does the rest (background calculation and subtraction).

Principle

Installation

• Requirement: Python with sci-modules: numpy, matplotlib, scipy, pandas
• pip install bground = standard installation, no other packages needed

Quick start

• Look at the worked example to see how BGROUND works.
• Download complete examples with data and try BGROUND yourself.

Documentation, help and examples

• PyPI repository - the stable version to install.
• GitHub repository - the current version under development.
• GitHub Pages with help and complete package documentation.

Versions of BGROUND

• Version 0.0.1 = an incomplete testing version
• Version 0.0.2 = the basic algorithm works
• Version 0.0.3 = a small improvement of code and docstrings
• Version 0.1 = OO-interface, better arrangement of funcs + semi-complete docs
• Version 0.2 = improved OO-implementation + better UI (commands, saving, help)
