Open3D is an open-source library that supports rapid development of software that deals with 3D data. The Open3D frontend exposes a set of carefully selected data structures and algorithms in both C++ and Python. The backend is highly optimized and is set up for parallelization.

This package contains the development headers for C++

Arithmetic coding is a general technique for coding the outcome of a stochastic process based on an adaptive model. The expected bit rate is the cross-entropy rate of the model versus the actual process. PPM, prediction by partial matching, is an adaptive statistical model of a symbol sequence which models the likelihood of the next byte based on a (relatively short) suffix of the sequence of previous bytes.

Vicino is a library to perform nearest neighbor searching and clustering. The idea is being able to query data by distance search with pluggable distance functions.

The Succinct Data Structure Library (SDSL) is a powerful and flexible C++11 library implementing succinct data structures. In total, the library contains the highlights of 40 research publications. Succinct data structures can represent an object (such as a bitvector or a tree) in space close the information-theoretic lower bound of the object while supporting operations of the original object efficiently. The theoretical time complexity of an operations performed on the classical data structure and the equivalent succinct data structure are (most of the time) identical.

This package installs development files.

TANGO is an object-oriented distributed control system using CORBA. In TANGO all objects are representations of devices, which can be on the same computer or distributed over a network. Communication between devices uses CORBA and can be synchronous, asynchronous or event driven.

The object model in TANGO supports methods, attributes and properties. TANGO provides an API which hides all the details of network access and provides object browsing, discovery, and security features. Permanent data is stored in a MySQL/MariaDB database.

TANGO is being actively developed as a collaborative effort between the ESRF (www.esrf.eu), Soleil (synchrotron-soleil.fr), Alba (www.cells.es), and Elettra institutes (www.elettra.trieste.it).

This package contains the tango9 development files.

Vnlog is a trivially-simple log format consisting of an ASCII table with comments and labelled fields. This package provides a C library that simplifies generating such logs. Dev files.

SAC and MiniSEED are two commonly used formats for seismological data.

mseed2sac converts MiniSEED waveform data to SAC format. The output SAC file can be either ASCII or binary (either byte-order), the default is binary with the same byte-order as the host computer. By default all aspects of the input files are automatically detected.

AWS X-Ray is a service that collects data about requests that your application serves, and provides tools you can use to view, filter, and gain insights into that data to identify issues and opportunities for optimization. For any traced request to your application, you can see detailed information not only about the request and response, but also about calls that your application makes to downstream AWS resources, microservices, databases and HTTP web APIs.

This package provides the Python 3 version of the module.

csvkit is a suite of command-line tools for converting to and working with CSV, the king of tabular file formats.

It is inspired by pdftk, gdal and the original csvcut tool by Joe Germuska and Aaron Bycoffe.

If you need to do more complex data analysis than csvkit can handle, use agate.

This package provides the modules for Python 3.

External data is often distributed as "flat files", i.e. dumps into a mostly human-readable format that one could open as a spreadsheet and equally easy parse and index or reimport into a local database. When the text file changes, the database needs to be updated, too. If access to the database is first required, the text file needs to be downloaded first and the database created. Remote updates also require local updates.

This package provides a set of helper functions to address the handling of remote files and the curation of local databases derived from them.

This package provides the Python 3 bindings for Open3D.

PyMeasure makes scientific measurements easy to set up and run.

The package contains a repository of instrument classes and a system for running experiment procedures, which provides graphical interfaces for graphing live data and managing queues of experiments. Both parts of the package are independent, and when combined provide all the necessary requirements for advanced measurements with only limited coding.

This package provides the modules for Python 3.

TANGO is an object oriented distributed control system using CORBA, mainly developed by the Controls Section of the ALBA Synchrotron. PyTango provides bindings for its client- and server-side C++ APIs. With PyTango, you can write TANGO device servers and TANGO applications (scripts, CLIs, GUIs) that access TANGO device servers in pure Python.

This is the Python 3 version of the package.

TRX is a tractography file format designed to facilitate dataset exchange, interoperability, and state-of-the-art analyses, acting as a community-driven replacement for the myriad existing file formats.

This package contains the Python implementation of the trx file-format.

Vnlog is a trivially-simple log format consisting of an ASCII table with comments and labelled fields. This package provides a simple Python3 library to parse such logs.

xrayutilities is a collection of scripts used to analyze X-rays diffraction data. It consists of a Python package and several routines coded in C. It especially useful for the reciprocal space conversion of diffraction data taken with linear and area detectors.

This is the Python 3 version of the package.

This is a C library for Raspberry Pi (RPi). It provides access to GPIO and other IO functions on the Broadcom BCM 2835 chipp, as used in the RaspberryPi, allowing access to the 26 pin ISE plug on the RPi board so you can control and interface with various external devices.

This package contains functions to draw a tree structure, similar to the tree Debian package, from arbitrary nested Python data structures, with configurable layout, sets of characters (ASCII or various Unicode line drawing), etc. It includes predefined structure traversal methods for (optionally ordered) dictionaries but allows the user to write their own to traverse custom data structures.

The mi R package provides functions for data manipulation, imputing missing values in an approximate Bayesian framework, diagnostics of the models used to generate the imputations, confidence-building mechanisms to validate some of the assumptions of the imputation algorithm, and functions to analyze multiply imputed data sets with the appropriate degree of sampling uncertainty.

High-level R interface to data files written using Unidata's netCDF library (version 4 or earlier), which are binary data files that are portable across platforms and include metadata information in addition to the data sets. Using this package, netCDF files (either version 4 or "classic" version 3) can be opened and data sets read in easily. It is also easy to create new netCDF dimensions, variables, and files, in either version 3 or 4 format, and manipulate existing netCDF files.
