mth5-panel

• Current Version: 0.0.7
• Home URL: IAGA-DVI-DataStandards/mth5-panel: Panel application to build and view MTH5 files

Includes panel applications for building and viewing a MTH5 file.

mth5-panel provides interactive user interfaces built with panel for common MTH5 workflows. The applications help you:

• Create MTH5 files from supported input data.
• Inspect MTH5 contents in a browser-based interface.
• Explore time-series data and metadata without writing custom plotting code.

Install Package

pip install mth5-panel

Serve

You can run the Panel apps in multiple ways. First install the package:

1) Script

Install the package, then run the app launcher:

mth5-panel-app --show

This launches the unified MTH5 create/view application through the installable script.

2) Command line

Use panel serve directly against an app script, best if mth5-panel is installed into a local directory using pip intall -e .:

panel serve mth5_panel/mth5_panel_app.py --show

3) Jupyter notebook

In a notebook, enable the Panel extension and render a view inline:

import panel as pn

pn.extension()

Then import or build a Panel object from one of the app modules and display it in a notebook cell.

4) VS Code

1. Open this repository in VS Code.
2. Open a terminal in the project root.
3. Run one of the launcher commands, for example:

panel serve mth5_panel/mth5_panel_app.py --autoreload --show

VS Code will show the local server URL in the terminal output; open it in your browser to use the application.

How to run manual release

This repository supports manual releases through the Release Standalone Executable GitHub Actions workflow.

1. Go to Actions → Release Standalone Executable.
2. Click Run workflow.
3. In the tag input, enter an existing tag that starts with v (for example, v0.0.7).
4. Run the workflow.

Notes

• The workflow fails fast if tag is empty.
• The workflow fails fast if the tag does not exist in the remote repository.
• Tag-push releases (push to v*) still work as before.
