The silx project aims at providing a collection of Python packages to support the development of data assessment, reduction and analysis applications at synchrotron radiation facilities. It aims at providing reading/writing different file formats, data reduction routines and a set of Qt widgets to browse and visualize data.

The current version provides :

* reading HDF5 file format (with support of SPEC file format) * histogramming * fitting * 1D and 2D visualization using multiple backends (matplotlib or OpenGL) * image plot widget with a set of associated tools (See changelog file). * Unified browser for HDF5, SPEC and image file formats supporting inspection and visualization of n-dimensional datasets. * Unified viewer (silx view filename) for HDF5, SPEC and image file formats * OpenGL-based widget to display 3D scalar field with isosurface and cutting plane.

This uses the Python 3 version of the package.
