tiny-metaio 0.1.1

Read and write MetaImages with minimal dependencies

MetaIO

Read and write MetaImages in python with minimal dependencies.

Installation

Available on pypi.org: pip install metaio.

Usage

Writing a MHA file

>>> from metaio import MetaImage, read_mha
>>> img = MetaImage([[0, 1], [42, 43]], spacing=[1, 2])
>>> img.save("some-name.mha")

Reading a MHA file

>>> img = read_mha("some-name.mha")
>>> img.spacing
array([1., 2.])
>>> img.data
array([[ 0,  1],
       [42, 43]])
>>> img.direction
array([1., 0., 0., 1.])
>>> img.origin
array([0., 0.])

Philosophy

• numpy as only runtime dependency.
• idiomatic python.
• similar behavior than SimpleITK's GetArrayFromImage, GetImageFromArray, GetDirection, GetOrigin, GetSpacing, ReadImage, WriteImage.

Why should I use this over SimpleITK?

If you just need the IO parts and do not want the large SimpleITK package, this package might be for you. If you do not care about having SimpleITK as a dependency for your project, this package is not for you.
