Python interface to CATMAID servers

Project description

Documentation Status Tests Coverage Status Binder DOI

pymaid

Python-Catmaid - or "pymaid" - is a Python 3 library to interface with CATMAID servers.

Tested with CATMAID release version 2020.02.15 - if you are working with older versions you may run into issues due to API changes.

Features

  • pull and push data from/to a CATMAID server
  • visualize and analyse neuron morphology via navis
  • tools to analyse user stats (e.g. time-invested, project history)
  • clustering methods (e.g. by connectivity or synapse placement)

Documentation

Pymaid is on ReadTheDocs.

Getting started

See the documentation for detailed installation instructions, tutorials and examples. For the impatient:

pip3 install python-catmaid

Important: there is a pymaid package on PyPI which has nothing to do with this pymaid!

To install the bleeding edge from Github:

pip3 install git+https://github.com/navis-org/pymaid@master

Alternatively click on the launch binder badge above to try out pymaid hosted by mybinder!
