When it's done, mzdata2mat package will attempt to convert an example .mzdata.xml file into a .mat file. If everything goes right, you will get this message :

$ mzdata2mat - Ready to use !

The example file (.mzdata.xml) will be copied in the current working directory and the converted file (.mat) will be added as soon as the conversion finishes.

If an error occurs, this probably means that you do not have node.js installed on your machine or you didn't add it to your PATH.

Usage

Example Code

# Here we import the main class used for the conversion.
1 from mzdata2mat import mzDataManager

# We initialize the class
# If all mzData files are stored in the same directory, we can specify the parameter `mzDataPath` instead of `useDirectory`.
2 converterAgent = mzDataManager(useDirectory=False)

3 path2mzDataFile : str = "path/to/stored/files"

4 someDirectory : str = "path/to/save/file/"

# Now we can call the mzDataXMLread function to read the .mzData.xml file:
5 data = converterAgent.mzDataXMLread(fileName=path2mzDataFile)

# The data we've got from the previous function can be saved to a .mat file with the saveMatfile funtion:
6 converterAgent.saveMatfile(mzData=data, dir2save=someDirectory)

You have successfully converted a mzData file into mat files !

Congratulations !
