Connecting Readers to Data Files & Examples #40

Open AdityaSavara opened 2 years ago

AdityaSavara commented 2 years ago

There are currently around 5 data files in "\data\" and more than 5 readers. It is currently not obvious which reader goes with which file. For each reader, there should be some example script (probably in examples) and some example data file (probably in \data)

Hi Aditya, Thanks for bringing this to our attention. For the most part, the readers should be self explanatory. Are you looking for something in particular? Additionally, any help to add more examples is always appreciated.

I have also made a new issue for a .3ds reader (see https://github.com/pycroscopy/SciFiReaders/issues/41 ).

I wasn't really looking for something in particular. I almost always view it that any feature should have an example script that somebody can run. I noticed that there were many more readers than examples. I thought about making a new reader, but to do that I would need to look at an example I can understand. I'm not sure when I would get to doing so [could be a year or more, for example], but not having examples of readers being used makes it harder for others to make readers.
