  • a quick utility based on a matplotlib window
  • a tk mvc controller window with more capabilities
• DIC processing for tensile testing.
  • batch processing
  • rolling gui (incomplete)
  • types of strain:
    • true strain
    • engineering strain (cauchy)
  • interpolation:
    • linear
    • cubic
    • spline
    • raw
  • output images
    • displacement
    • markers
    • grid
    • strain map (not complete)
• capture gui for a microscope USB camera
• Tektronix dmm 4020 Digital multimeter function
  • for logging data (simple script)
  • for logging data (tk mvc controller window)

installation

cd to the directory and execute

python setup.py install python setup.py develop

or (when loaded to pypi)

pip install npp_materialslab_tools

to use it import:

import npp_materialslab_tools as mlt

Installation procedure using Conda

creating a new environment (recommended)

This is the recommended method.

> conda create -n materialslab python=3
> conda activate materialslab 

Alternatively *if you are running low on space on a SSD * drive you can use the prefix option (IMPORTANT: read through the following StackOverflow Question: how to specify new environment location for conda create)

Install dependencies

Activate the new conda environment and install the following:

> conda activate materialslab
> conda install opencv numpy scipy
> conda install matplotlib  pandas seaborn
> conda install ipython jupyter
> conda install openpyxl

Install materialslab package.

from source

Clone the repository from online to <hmu.materialslab.tools>.

Change directory into <hmu.materialslab.tools>/pypkg/

cd ./pypkg

Install the package locally:

python setup.py install

from pypi (not yet implemented)

This will be simpler but not yet implemented

> pip install materialslab-whatevername
