ActinMeshure: Quantify cytoskeletal actin remodelling

AchinMeshure is a small library of functions which aim to quantify actin remodelling from super-resolution microscopy images of cytoskeletal actin.

The library includes classes and helpers to:

• read in images and extract metadata into ActImg instances
• manipulate, visualise, and save images in either ActImg or ActImgBinary instances; also great for interactive analysis
• run batch analyses on entire directories with data using the ActImgCollection class
• summarise and visualise batch processing results, written into HTML files (requires Pandoc)

Installation from source

To install ActinMeshure, download the source code from the repository, navigate to the destination directory, and run:

$ pip install .

If you wish to edit/develop the package, run it directly from source using:

$ pip install -e . # Run once to add package to Python path
