Release Notes 1.2.1

The simplnx library is under activate development and while we strive to maintain a stable API bugs are found the necessitate the changing of the API.

Version 1.2.1

• Documentation has been updated

• Examples updated to use new API

API Additions 1.2.1

• DataObject add the “type” property

• Retrieve the children of a DataObject in the DataStructure using a simplnx.DataPath or “/” delimited string

  #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # If you want to list out the children at a specific level of the DataStruture
  #------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # Use an empty path for the top level objects
  children_paths = data_structure.get_children(nx.DataPath(""))
  print(children_paths)
  

• Generate a text or GraphViz representation of the DataStructure.

  # This will generate the hierarchy as a GraphViz formatted string that you can
  # print or save to a file
  graphviz_content = data_structure.hierarchy_to_graphviz()
  print(graphviz_content)
  
  # This will generate the hierarchy as an ASCI Formatted string.
  hierarchy_as_str = data_structure.hierarchy_to_str()
  print(hierarchy_as_str)
  

• Get a numpy view of a DataArray directly from the DataStructure by using the a simplnx.DataPath or “/” delimited string

  data_structure = nx.DataStructure()
  output_array_path = nx.DataPath(["3D Array"])
  tuple_dims = [[3, 2, 5]]
  array_type = nx.NumericType.float32
  create_array_filter = nx.CreateDataArrayFilter()
  result  = create_array_filter.execute(data_structure=data_structure,
                                        component_count=1,
                                        data_format="",
                                        initialization_value="10",
                                        numeric_type=array_type,
                                        output_data_array=output_array_path,
                                        tuple_dimensions=tuple_dims)
  npdata = data_structure[output_array_path].npview()
