Introduction

PySpectra is a graphics library to display 1D and 2D data. It uses pyqtgraph and matplotlib to create the graphical output. The former produces fast graphics the latter hardcopies.

Applications based on PySpectra:

• pyspMonitor3.py is connected to a Door, receives 0D and 1D data and displays them. Can also display data sent by the user.

• pyspViewer3.py: displays 1D data from ASCII (.fio, .dat, .iint) and .nxs files.

There are other areas of PySpectra applications:

• PySpectra can be imported into any python code to display spectra and images.
  • the display action can be part of the local process or
  • data can be sent via ZMQ to pyspMonitor3
• A part of PySpectra is available through ipython magic commands.
