v1.4.0

v1.4.0 major changes

Two primary upgrades have been made in this release:

• FieldOfViewNeurons: arranged manifolds of egocentric BVC or OVCs Neurons to make field-of-view tiling encodings.

from ratinabox.contribs.FieldOfViewNeurons import FieldOfViewNeurons
FoV_BVCs = FieldOfViewNeurons(Ag)
FoV_OVCs = FieldOfViewNeurons(Ag,params={
    'cell_type':'OVC',
    })
FoV_whiskers = FieldOfViewNeurons(Ag,params={
    "FoV_angles":[75,105],
    "FoV_distance":[0.1,0.2],
    "spatial_resolution":0.02,})

• Updates to how RatInABox figures are saved.

  • User defined RatInABox.figure_directory sets where figures will be saved into.
  • By setting RatInABox.autosave_plots = True RiaB will automatically attempt to save figures into a figure directory.
  • Alternatively, RatInABox.utils.save_figure(fig, figure_name) can be used to manually save figures.
  • Figures saved by either of the above two methods will be put into a dated folder and appended with the current time (so no overwriting). This is a more sustainable way to make scientific figures, easing the load of saving each one by hand.

• Retired simultaneously having both a 1.x and a dev branch in favour of just a dev branch. Easier to maintain. Users warned that dev may be unstable and that pip is the stable version.
