xypattern 1.2.3

Library for handling x-y pattern data.

xypattern

Description

A simple small library to handle x-y patterns, such as are collected with x-ray diffraction or Raman spectroscopy.

Installation

pip install xypattern

Features

• Load and save patterns from/to various file formats (.xy, .chi, .fxye)
• Apply scaling, offset, and smoothing to patterns
• Background subtraction (manual or automatic)
• Pattern manipulation (limiting, extending, deleting ranges)
• Mathematical operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication)
• Pattern transformation (x-axis transformation)
• Pattern rebinning
• Pattern serialization to/from dictionaries

Usage Examples

Reading a file

from xypattern import Pattern
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

p1 = Pattern.from_file('path/to/file')
p1.scaling = 0.5
p1.offset = 0.1

plt.plot(p1.x, p1.y)
plt.show()

Use a background pattern

p2 = Pattern.from_file('path/to/file')
p2.scaling = 0.9
p1.background_pattern = p2

Automatic background subtraction

from xypattern.auto_background import SmoothBrucknerBackground

p1 = Pattern.from_file('path/to/file')
p1.auto_bkg = SmoothBrucknerBackground(smooth_width=0.2, iterations=30, cheb_order=20)
p1.auto_bkg_roi = [10.0, 60.0]  # Optional region of interest for background calculation

Pattern manipulation

# Limit pattern to a specific x-range
limited_pattern = p1.limit(10.0, 60.0)

# Extend pattern to a specific x-value
extended_pattern = p1.extend_to(5.0, 0.0)

# Delete specific x-ranges
cleaned_pattern = p1.delete_ranges([[10.0, 15.0], [40.0, 45.0]])

# Transform x-axis (e.g., convert from 2theta to q-space)
from math import pi, sin
wavelength = 0.3344  # Å
transformed_pattern = p1.transform_x(lambda x: 4 * pi * sin(x * pi / 360) / wavelength)

Scale and stitch multiple patterns

p1 = Pattern.from_file('path/to/file1')
p2 = Pattern.from_file('path/to/file2')
p3 = Pattern.from_file('path/to/file3')

from xypattern.combine import scale_patterns, stitch_patterns

patterns = [p1, p2, p3]
scale_patterns(patterns)
stitched_pattern = stitch_patterns(patterns)

Pattern serialization

# Save pattern to dictionary (useful for JSON serialization)
pattern_dict = p1.to_dict()

# Create pattern from dictionary
p2 = Pattern.from_dict(pattern_dict)

# Create a deep copy of a pattern
p2 = p1.copy()
