PtyLab.py

PtyLab is an inverse modeling toolbox for Conventional (CP) and Fourier (FP) ptychography in a unified framework. For more information please check the paper.

Getting started

The simplest way to get started is to check the below demo in Google Colab.

To explore more use cases of PtyLab, check the example_scripts and jupyter_tutorials directories. However, please install the package first as described in the below sections.

Installation

To install the package from source,

pip install git+https://github.com/PtyLab/PtyLab.py.git

This package uses cupy to utilize GPU for faster reconstruction. Please check their instructions for installing this dependency.

Development

Please clone this repository and navigate to the root folder

git clone git@github.com:PtyLab/PtyLab.py.git
cd PtyLab.py

Inside a virtual environment (preferably with conda), please install ptylab and its dependencies:

conda create --name ptylab_venv python=3.11.5 # or python version satisfying ">=3.9, <3.12"
conda activate ptylab_venv
pip install -e .[dev]

To use the GPU, cupy can be additionally installed in this environment.

conda install -c conda-forge cupy
