voxcell 3.1.10
Voxcell is a small library to handle probability distributions that have a spatial component and to use them to build collection of cells in space.
License: Apache-2
Requires Python: >=3.8

Overview
========

This is a library to build circuits and atlases. It contains tools to handle

* "traits fields" and collections and the logic to assign them.
* volumetric data within NRRD files
* Cell collection access / writer.
* to build, transform and handle fields of vectors and orientations.
* querying `Region hierarchy tree`, such as the one available from the `Allen Institute for Brain Science (AIBS)`_: `Mouse Brain Atlas Ontology's StructureGraph`_ (aka 1.json).

Installation
============

Install from PyPI:

.. code-block:: bash

    pip install voxcell

Or an editable install:

.. code-block:: bash

    git clone https://github.com/BlueBrain/voxcell
    cd voxcell
    pip install -e .

Examples
========

To use the following examples, one must download an NRRD file and the Ontology Structure:

.. code-block:: bash

    curl -o brain_regions.nrrd http://download.alleninstitute.org/informatics-archive/current-release/mouse_ccf/annotation/ccf_2017/annotation_100.nrrd
    curl -o hierarchy.json http://api.brain-map.org/api/v2/structure_graph_download/1.json

One can open NRRD files, and perform operations on them:

.. code-block:: python

    import voxcell
    voxels = voxcell.VoxelData.load_nrrd('brain_regions.nrrd')
    print(voxels.voxel_dimensions)  # prints array([100., 100., 100.], dtype=float32)

One can also use the `Atlas` object to load at both the atlas and the hierarchy:

.. code-block:: python

    import numpy as np
    from voxcell.nexus.voxelbrain import Atlas
    atlas = Atlas.open('.')
    brain_regions = atlas.load_data('brain_regions')
    rm = atlas.load_region_map()
    # count the number of voxels in the VIS region, and all its descendents
    ids = rm.find('VIS', 'acronym', with_descendants=True)
    np.count_nonzero(np.isin(brain_regions.raw, list(ids)))
