# QATS

Python library and GUI for efficient processing and visualization of time series.

[![Python versions](https://img.shields.io/pypi/pyversions/qats)](https://pypi.org/project/qats/)
[![Build Status](https://github.com/dnvgl/qats/actions/workflows/test.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/dnvgl/qats/actions/workflows/test.yml)
[![PyPi Deployment Status](https://github.com/dnvgl/qats/actions/workflows/publish.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/dnvgl/qats/actions/workflows/publish.yml)
[![Documentation Status](https://readthedocs.org/projects/qats/badge/?version=latest)](https://qats.readthedocs.io/en/latest/?badge=latest)

## General

### About

The python library provides tools for:
- Import and export from/to various pre-defined time series file formats
- Signal processing
- Inferring statistical distributions
- Cycle counting using the Rainflow algorithm

It was originally created to handle time series files exported from [SIMO](https://www.dnvgl.com/services/complex-multibody-calculations-simo-2311) 
and [RIFLEX](https://www.dnvgl.com/services/riser-analysis-software-for-marine-riser-systems-riflex-2312). Now it also
handles [SIMA](https://www.dnvgl.com/services/marine-operations-and-mooring-analysis-software-sima-2324) hdf5 (.h5) files, 
Matlab (version < 7.3) .mat files, CSV files and more.

QATS also features a GUI which offers efficient and low threshold processing and visualization of time series. It is
perfect for inspecting, comparing and reporting:
- time series
- power spectral density distributions
- peak and extreme distributions
- cycle distributions

### Demo

## Getting started

### Installation

Run the below command in a Python environment to install the latest QATS release:

```console
python -m pip install qats
```

To upgrade from a previous version, the command is:

```console
python -m pip install --upgrade qats
```

You may now import qats in your own scripts:

```python
>>> from qats import TsDB, TimeSeries
```

... or use the GUI to inspect time series.

_New in version 5.0.0._ 
The [Qt](https://www.qt.io) binding [PySide6](https://pypi.org/project/PySide6/) is installed with `qats`. 
If you would rather like to use [PyQt6](https://pypi.org/project/PyQt6/), run

```console
python -m pip install pyqt6
```

If multiple Qt bindinds are installed, the one to use may be controlled by setting the environmental variable `QT_API` to the desired package. Accepted values include `pyqt6` (to use PyQt6) and `pyside6` (PySide6). For more details, see [README file for qtpy](https://github.com/spyder-ide/qtpy/blob/master/README.md).

The GUI may now be launched by:

```console
qats app
```

To create a start menu link, which you can even pin to the taskbar to ease access to the 
QATS GUI, run the following command:

```console
qats config --link-app
```

Take a look at the resources listed below to learn more.

_New in version 4.11.0._ The command line interface is also accessible by running Python with the '-m' option. The following commands are equvivalent to those above:
```console 
python -m qats app
python -m qats config --link-app
```

## Contribute

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing 
purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

### Prerequisites

Install Python version 3.8 or later from either https://www.python.org or https://www.anaconda.com.

Install Poetry with [the official installer](https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installing-with-the-official-installer).

Install the [poetry-dynamic-versioning](https://pypi.org/project/poetry-dynamic-versioning/) plugin:

```poetry self add "poetry-dynamic-versioning[plugin]"```

### Clone the source code repository

At the desired location, run:

```git clone https://github.com/dnvgl/qats.git```

### Installing

To get the development environment running...

```console
poetry install
```

This will
- create an isolated environment
- install all dependencies including those required for development, testing and building documentation
- and install the package in development ("editable") mode

You should now be able to import the package in the Python console,

```python
>>> import qats
>>> help(qats)
```

... and use the command line interface (CLI).

```console
qats -h
```

_New in version 4.11.0._ The CLI is also available from

```console
python -m qats -h
```

### Running the tests

The automated tests are run using [unittest](https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.html/).

```console
python -m unittest discover 
```

### Building the package

Build tarball and wheel distributions by

```console
poetry build
```

The builds appear in the `.dist` folder. The distributions adhere to the [PEP 0427](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0427/#file-name-convention) 
convention `{distribution}-{version}(-{build tag})?-{python tag}-{abi tag}-{platform tag}.whl`.

### Building the documentation

The html documentation is built using [Sphinx](http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master)

```console
sphinx-build -b html docs\source docs\_build
```

To force a build to read/write all files (always read all files and don't use a saved environment), include the `-a` and `-E` options:

```console
sphinx-build -a -E -b html docs\source docs\_build
```

### Versioning

We apply the "major.minor.micro" versioning scheme defined in [PEP 440](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440/). See also [Scheme choices](https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/guides/distributing-packages-using-setuptools/#scheme-choices) on https://packaging.python.org/.

Versions are tagged with Git tags like `v3.0.1`. See the [tags on this repository](https://github.com/dnvgl/qats/tags).

### Release and deployment

We use the [release cycle in GitHub](https://github.com/dnvgl/qats/releases) to cut new releases.

Once a new release is published, [GitHub Actions](https://docs.github.com/en/actions) takes care of the packaging, unit testing and deployment to [PyPi](https://pypi.org/project/qats/).

The workflows for continuous integration and deployment are found in [.github/workflows](.github/workflows/).
