Simple, private tool for the analysing of nanoparticle data
Current features are very basic. It can read in an excel spread sheet and plot a histogram from a column of data, calculating statistical quantities.
##Requirements
- python 2.7
- xlrd
- matplotlib
- numpy
- tkinter
##Installation
Requirements can be installed with
pip install -r requirements.txt
or for each missing requirement,
pip install xlrd,
etc. Using a python virtualenv is recommended, however this may cause plots to not be shown after the data
has been analysed. They will still be saved, as data_<sheet_name>.pdf/.png
##Running Either the command line or gui versions can be used:
###Command line version This is run in the folliwing way
python run.py <path to .xlsx file> <name of sheet> <optional bin number>
If a binning is not specified it is set automatically using the Freedman-Diaconis rule to optimise the number of bins and is determined by the statistical spread of your data, and the range.
The gui version is run simply with:
python rungui.py
and its use should be self explanatory
##.xlsx formatting The sheet to be analysed should have the following style of formatting:
Column A:
A vertical list of your data
Column B
B1: Plot title
B2: x axis title
B3: y axis title
Any or all of these can be left blank, and in this case that particular
title or label will not be drawn
