Drop shape analysis software.

PyDSA is a software for drop shape analysis. It allows to measure the properties of droplets in contact with solids (contact angle, droplet volume, evaporation rate, displacement velocity, ...) through an intuitive interface. PyDSA is developed in Python and use Qt5 for it graphical interface.

Installation

pip install pyDSA_gui

To update PyDSA, use:

pip install -U pyDSA_gui

Usage

Just start PyDSA from the terminal (or anaconda console) with:
