As a belated Christmas gift to our user community, a new free library for accessing DaVis data for Python is available. The Python plugin can read and also write back the DaVis specific data format for images and vector fields. The library is intended to be freely used in your own Python projects and to provide experimenting users with another way to use their DaVis data. With the write functionality, the data can be transferred back into the DaVis format after processing by Python, in order to be able to use the various display possibilities in DaVis without a detour via a re-import. Users can download the library free of charge here.
