CSDM conversion?

[mccarthy677]

Hello!

I'm helping to develop the mrsimulator library (see links below), but it requires CSDM format data for fitting. I've been using nmrglue to load vendor data into python and manually building a CSDM data object using csdmpy, but a function in nmrglue would make it a lot easier. I think a to_csdm function in the converter object would work perfectly for this. I'm willing to work on this and contribute with a pull request if this addition sounds good to you!

Thanks!

This looks like a good proposal, and it would be great to have this conversion in nmrglue. But, having functions to convert from all different formats to csdm seems to be a lot of work to take on. Perhaps converting internally to a universal_dictionary and then to csdm might be a good solution here? If this is what you have in mind, I would be happy to review any PR from this.

Yes, that's what I was thinking! I just created PR #152 that adds this functionality. Thanks!
