Mastodon Reader for Python

Import the spots and links tables, features, tags and meta data from a Mastodon project file.

ported to Python from: matlab-mastodon-importer

Example

Read the mastodon file:

from mastodon_reader import MastodonReader

mr = MastodonReader("demo/demo.mastodon")

# show meta data
meta_data = mr.read_metadata()

# read (networkX) graph representation, spot and link tables with features and tags columns
graph, spots, links, tag_definition = mr.read(tags=True, features=True)

or read information separately

# read only spot and link tables
spots, links = mr.read_tables()

# read tag_definition and add tags as new columns to the spot and link tables
tag_definition = mr.read_tags(spots, links)

# read features and add as new columns to the spot and link tables
mr.read_features(spots, links)

# create networkX DiGraph representation form spots and links
graph = mr.create_nx_graph(spots, links)
