euchar

euchar

Compute Euler Characteristic curves and surfaces of image and point data.

Installation

The setuptools, numpy, and scipy Python packages are prerequisites for using this package.

You'll also need pybind11, cmake and a C++ compiler in order to install this package. It is recommended to install both pybind11 and cmake via conda.

>>> conda install -c anaconda cmake
>>> conda install -c conda-forge pybind11

Finally run the following command to build and install this Python package

>>> pip install euchar

If the command above fails to build this package, then you might want to clone this repository to a directory euchar/ on your computer and run

>>> cd /<path>/<to>/<cloned>/<repo>/euchar/
>>> python setup.py install

which outputs more information on the errors causing the build to fail.

Windows. After installing conda, run the above commands within an Anaconda prompt. For the C++ compiler install Visual Studio community.

Documentation

The documentation for this project is available at https://gbeltramo.github.io/euchar/, where usage examples are provided for computing both Euler characteristic curves and Euler characteristic surfaces.
