[Nexus] Release of NeXpy v0.10.0

[Osborn, Raymond]

NeXpy v0.10.0 has just been released. This is the first release to support PyQt5, as well as PyQt4 and PySide. It is also compatible with Python 2.7 and 3.5, and has been tested using the latest releases of IPython, v6.0.0, and Matplotlib, v2.0.1. The underlying nexusformat API has also been updated to v0.4.6, with a number of minor bug fixes.

Among recent enhancements:

• Addition of a tabular view of data values in multidimensional arrays.
• Ability to backup and restore loaded NeXus files.
• Enhancements to the Fit Dialog, allowing trial parameter estimation and least-squares fitting to differing ranges of x-values within the data.
• Addition of Gaussian smoothing, using the astropy convolution function.
• Support for plotting non-orthogonal axes with fixed aspect ratios.
• Support for symmetric linear/log plots using divergent color maps.
• Addition of a new ‘Open Remote File’ menu item when h5pyd is installed, allowing files stored on remote servers, e.g., running ‘h5serv’, to be loaded.

NeXpy
---------
NeXpy provides a high-level Python interface to HDF5 files, particularly those stored as NeXus data, within a simple GUI. It is designed to provide an intuitive interactive toolbox allowing users both to access, visualize, and manipulate existing NeXus files, and to create new NeXus-conforming data structures without expert knowledge of the file format. The underlying Python API for reading and writing NeXus files is provided by the nexusformat package, which utilizes h5py.

NeXpy is available on both the Python Package Index server and Anaconda:

  $ pip install nexpy

or

  $ conda install -c nexpy nexpy
