Multiple updates to documentation.
Fix column header line for multi-dataset files written wrongly #128.
Fix some issues with validation and schema generation.
Fix bug in NeXus file writer for certain header configurations.
1.2.0 (2024-02-23)
Introduce reading and writing of NeXus files ORSO binary standard (*.orb)
Add some extra attributes from updated ORSO specification (v1.1).
Add polarization options for x-ray instruments.
Fix compatibility with Python 3.12, resolving issue #115.
Move tests to orsopy sub-folders to prevent interference with other packages.
Some updates to the package documentation.
Fix some cases where numpy based scalars where not properly converted to YAML.
1.1.0 (2023-02-20)
Introduction of simple model language that can be used to describe sample structures. The module orsopy.fileio.model_language is used to implement and parse the model language. See https://www.reflectometry.org/projects/simple_model for specifications. Sample model examples can be found in the examples folder together with scripts using the orsopy module to parse and plot the data.
Add polarization channels for x-ray experiments
Implement ErrorValue class for optional description of errors on values within the file header.
Update of .ort standard according to discussions with community. (E.g. rename of column attribute “dimension” to “physical_quantity”)
1.0.1 (2022-06-28)
Fix bug that did allow some dictionary type values to be created in Sample.
Update the schema files for released .ort standard.
Sample.sample_parameters keys to be strings and values restricted to Value, ValueRange, ValueVector or ComplexValue.
Add as_unit method to value classes that uses the pint library to convert values to supplied unit automatically.
1.0.0 (2022-06-10)
ORSO general assembly has voted to release the first version of orsopy together with the text representation of the text file (.ort) specification. See https://www.reflectometry.org/workshops/workshop_2022/
0.1.1 (2022-06-08)
Fix missing data files in distribution
0.1.0 (2022-05-19)
Revise .ort file header speicifcation according to ORSO discussions.
Implement option for automatic unit conversion based on pint library
Improve yaml export to support compact on-line layout for e.g. Value
Add a ErrorColumn for clear separation between data and error columns and allow specification of type/distribution of error with conversion factors to get standard deviation (sigma)
Add a ComplexValue class
Fix some type conversions where e.g. lists have been converted to str
