PyRawLifReader

Simple reader for raw lif data. Will not encode anything to an image. Just gives metadata and bytes.

It is a python version of https://github.com/rharkes/RawLIFreader which was written for Matlab.

Installation

pip install .

Examples

Export all metadata as xml:

from lxml import etree
from pyrawlifreader import LifFile
liff = LifFile(r'c:\mylif.lif')
with open('metadata.xml', 'wt') as fp:
    fp.write(etree.tostring(liff.xml).decode('utf-8'))

Show xml of a single memoryblock:

from lxml import etree
from pyrawlifreader import LifFile
liff = LifFile(r'c:\mylif.lif')
print(etree.tostring(liff.memblocks[6].xml).decode('utf-8'))

Load data from memoryblock

from pyrawlifreader import LifFile
liff = LifFile(r'c:\mylif.lif')
data = liff.getbinaryblockdata('MemBlock_2644')
data2 = liff.getbinaryblockdata(1)
