Just wanted to fix this numpy reshape issue with the MDA 2D files since I clone this repo in colab and don't want to replace the file there.

This repository has been archived and is no longer maintained.

This library is a tentative to read the *.mdt files generated by Nova-PX software used but the NT-MDT AFM/MFM/Raman instrument. However, for the moment it is really in an alpha state.

• read the header of the file
• read the header of any standard frame
• (experimental) read the text frame
• read the MDA frame
  • 2 dimensions, 1 mesurand the AFM/MFM frame (2D/color map)
  • 1 dimension, 1 mesurand (or 2 mesurands) curve, except if the x axis is stored in the XML metadata (in this case put an arbitrary x axis)

• a nice package with __init__.py and stuff like that -- low priority
• support of the STM frames (MDT_FRAME_SCANNED)
• maybe support of the new curve frame MDT_FRAME_CURVES_NEW (but I don’t have any file to work with)
• put a doc and some examples

• support the old 1D MDA curve where the x-coordinates are hid in the XML metadata (come on, why somebody would hide data information in the metadata)

• Support for old MDA frame because it is not really used anymore.
• Support for the palette frame (I don’t know the specs and I clearly don’t want spending time on something that nobody use...)

• Python >= 3.6
• numpy >= 1.13.1
