project to overhaul code

[maxthemouse]

I am looking at a massive project on this code. This should likely be split into multiple issues for tracking and making it easier to understand. This issues is more of a meta-issue.

• restructure or even rewrite
  • keep in Python or rewrite in Julia?
  • new name? pyMIR or MIR.jl
  • use poetry for packaging?
• improve interface
  • currently using notebooks
  • make a new GUI?
  • make a command-line application?
  • use Voila to make interactive results page. For example: pick a point and plot the curve fit
• need more flexible structure for input and for output of images
  • flexible on data organization eg names of folder; darks, flats, images
  • pick data view for single calculation
• add CT options
• add more algorithms for analysis of DEI-CT and MIR
  • multiple models for 2 or 3 data points on the rocking curve

pyMIR is a music program that looks pretty good. MIRpy is also a program. Maybe a name that is not related is better. This is now Issue #18.

Language is Issue #14

In Windows, I am using winpython as the environment. This is rather heavy and I am not sure that it is the best. This works due to the use of notebooks. These can be used in place by putting the repot in the notebooks folder of winpython.

Use Poetry for handling dependencies and can use to manage a package. This is Issue #20

I don't know if people use it but there is a wiki tab for wiki pages. This could be a location for documentation. open Issue #21 for this.

Use dotenv to avoid project numbers or user names in the notebooks. This is issue #23.

Numpy has had a major update to version2. So need to make adjustments (Issue #24).
