Hatchet is a Python-based library that allows [Pandas](https://pandas.pydata.org) dataframes to be indexed by structured tree and graph data. It is intended for analyzing performance data that has a hierarchy (for example, serial or parallel profiles that represent calling context trees, call graphs, nested regions’ timers, etc.). Hatchet implements various operations to analyze a single hierarchical data set or compare multiple data sets, and its API facilitates analyzing such data programmatically.

To use hatchet, install it with pip:

```
$ pip install llnl-hatchet
```

Or, if you want to develop with this repo directly, run the install script from
the root directory, which will build the cython modules and add the cloned
directory to your `PYTHONPATH`:

```
$ source install.sh
```

### Documentation

See the [Getting Started](https://llnl-hatchet.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html) page for basic examples and usage. Full documentation is available in the [User Guide](https://llnl-hatchet.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide.html).

Examples of performance analysis using hatchet are available [here](https://llnl-hatchet.readthedocs.io/en/latest/analysis_examples.html).

The [hatchet tutorial](https://github.com/llnl/hatchet-tutorial) provides a step by step introduction to hatchet features through a live interactive environment in BinderHub.

### Interactive Visualization

Hatchet now provides an interactive visualization which can be run inside of your Jupyter notebooks. It is dependant on different mechanisms for building which we describe here:


The software in the `hatchet/vis` subdirectory requires [Node.js and Node Package Manager](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) for the development and building of javascript code.

#### Installing node packages

One you have Node and NPM installed on your system, you can install all necessary node packages by running the following line in your terminal from the `hatchet/vis/` directory:

```
npm install
```

#### Building out javascript code with webpack

To build out javascript into the static bundles used by the Jupyter visualizations, run the following line from the `hatchet/vis` directory in your terminal:

```
npm run build
```

Alterntinatively if you are developing a visualization, you can run the following line to force bundles to automatically update when you change the javascript source code:

```
npm run watch
```
