.. start_of_main_text

``mrcfile`` is a Python implementation of the `MRC2014 file format`_, which
is used in structural biology to store image and volume data.

It allows MRC files to be created and opened easily using a very simple API,
which exposes the file's header and data as `numpy`_ arrays. The code runs in
Python 2 and 3 and is fully unit-tested.

.. _MRC2014 file format: http://www.ccpem.ac.uk/mrc_format/mrc2014.php
.. _numpy: http://www.numpy.org/

This library aims to allow users and developers to read and write
standard-compliant MRC files in Python as easily as possible, and with no
dependencies on any compiled libraries except `numpy`_. You can use it
interactively to inspect files, correct headers and so on, or in scripts and
larger software packages to provide basic MRC file I/O functions.

Key Features
------------

* Clean, simple API for access to MRC files
* Easy to install and use
* Validation of files according to the MRC2014 format
* Seamless support for gzip and bzip2 files
* Memory-mapped file option for fast random access to very large files
* Asynchronous opening option for background loading of multiple files
* Runs in Python 2 & 3, on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows

Installation
------------

The ``mrcfile`` library is available from the `Python package index`_::

    pip install mrcfile

Or from `conda-forge`_::

    conda install --channel conda-forge mrcfile

It is also included in the ``ccpem-python`` environment in the  `CCP-EM`_
software suite.

.. _CCP-EM: http://www.ccpem.ac.uk

The source code (including the full test suite) can be found `on GitHub`_.

.. _Python package index: https://pypi.org/project/mrcfile
.. _conda-forge: https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/mrcfile
.. _on GitHub: https://github.com/ccpem/mrcfile

Basic usage
-----------

The easiest way to open a file is with the `mrcfile.open`_ and `mrcfile.new`_
functions. These return an `MrcFile`_ object which represents an MRC file on
disk.

.. _mrcfile.open: http://mrcfile.readthedocs.io/en/latest/source/mrcfile.html#mrcfile.open
.. _mrcfile.new: http://mrcfile.readthedocs.io/en/latest/source/mrcfile.html#mrcfile.new
.. _MrcFile: http://mrcfile.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage_guide.html#using-mrcfile-objects

To open an MRC file and read a slice of data::

    >>> import mrcfile
    >>> with mrcfile.open('tests/test_data/EMD-3197.map') as mrc:
    ...     mrc.data[10,10]
    ... 
    array([ 2.58179283,  3.1406002 ,  3.64495397,  3.63812137,  3.61837363,
            4.0115056 ,  3.66981959,  2.07317996,  0.1251585 , -0.87975615,
            0.12517013,  2.07319379,  3.66982722,  4.0115037 ,  3.61837196,
            3.6381247 ,  3.64495087,  3.14059472,  2.58178973,  1.92690361], dtype=float32)

To create a new file with a 2D data array, and change some values::

    >>> array = np.zeros((5, 5), dtype=np.int8)
    >>> with mrcfile.new('tmp.mrc') as mrc:
    ...     mrc.set_data(array)
    ...     mrc.data[1:4,1:4] = 10
    ...     mrc.data
    ... 
    array([[ 0,  0,  0,  0,  0],
           [ 0, 10, 10, 10,  0],
           [ 0, 10, 10, 10,  0],
           [ 0, 10, 10, 10,  0],
           [ 0,  0,  0,  0,  0]], dtype=int8)

The data will be saved to disk when the file is closed, either automatically at
the end of the ``with`` block (like a normal Python file object) or manually by
calling ``close()``. You can also call ``flush()`` to write any changes to disk
and keep the file open.

To validate an MRC file::

    >>> mrcfile.validate('tests/test_data/EMD-3197.map')
    File does not declare MRC format version 20140 or 20141: nversion = 0
    False

    >>> mrcfile.validate('tmp.mrc')
    True
