TomoPy 1.0.0 Release Notes¶

New features ¶

FFTW implementation is now adopted. All functions that rely on FFTs such as gridrec, phase retrieval, stripe removal, etc. are now using the FFTW implementation through PyFFTW.
sinogram_order is added to recon as an additional argument. It determines whether data is a stack of sinograms (True, y-axis first axis) or a stack of radiographs (False). Default is False, but we plan to make it True in the upcoming release.
Reconstruction algorithms only copies data if necessary.
Updated library to support new mproc and recon functions. The data is now passed in sinogram order to recon functions. Also updated tests.
ncores and nchunks are now independent.
Setting nchunks to zero removes the dimension. That allows for the functions work on 2D data rather than 3D data.
Sliced data are used so that each process only receives the data it needs. No more istart and iend variables for setting up indices in parallel processes.
Functions will reuse sharedmem arrays if they can.

All data I/O related functions are deprecated. They are available through DXchange package.
Removed fft.h and fft.c, they are now completely replaced with FFTW.

emission argument is removed from recon. After this change the tomographic image reconstruction algorithms always assume data to be normalized.
