Classes
AFMData
: General base class for AFM data
- class afmformats.afm_data.AFMData(data, metadata, diskcache=False)[source]
General base class for AFM data
Initialization
Inheritance
- export_data(out, metadata=True, fmt='tab')[source]
Export all data columns to a file
- Parameters
out (str, pathlib.Path, writable io.IOBase, or h5py.Group) – Output path, open file, or h5py object
metadata (bool or list) – If True, all available metadata are stored. If False, no metadata are stored. If a list, only the given metadata keys are stored.
fmt (str) – “tab” for the tab separated values format and “hdf5” / “h5” for the HDF5 file format
Notes
If you wish to append HDF5 data to an existing file, please open the file first and call this function with the h5py.File object, i.e.
with h5py.File(path, "a") as h5: fdist.export(out=h5, fmt="hdf5")
Otherwise the file will be overridden.
The column “index” is not exported in the HDF5 file format
- reset_data()[source]
Resets all data to the state they were after loading
Internally, only self._data is clear`ed, which means that all calls to `__getitem__ fall-back to self._raw_data.
- property columns
Available data columns
- property columns_innate
Data columns available only in the original data file
- property enum
Unique index of self in self.path
Indexing starts at “0”
- property metadata
Unique index of self in self.path
- abstract property modality
Imaging modality (e.g. force-distance)
- property path
Path to the measurement file
Variables
- afmformats.afm_data.column_dtypes

- afmformats.afm_data.column_units
Units of all known columns
{'force': 'N', 'height (measured)': 'm', 'height (piezo)': 'm', 'index': '', 'segment': '', 'time': 's', 'tip position': 'm'}
- afmformats.afm_data.known_columns
