Read, write, and manipulate diffraction images that use the MarCCD format

This Python library provides:

• A MarCCD class for representing diffraction images and their header information
• IO methods that support reading and writing MarCCD format diffraction images

I have not yet made this package available on PyPI. However, you can still install it with pip:

pip install git+https://github.com/Hekstra-Lab/marccd.git

Here is a short example of reading and plotting a diffraction image:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from marccd import MarCCD

# Read image
mccd = MarCCD("tests/data/e074a_off1_011.mccd")

# Plot image and mark beam center
plt.imshow(mccd.image, cmap="gray_r", vmin=10, vmax=50)
plt.plot(*mccd.center, 'rx')
plt.axis("off")
