W-data format

W-data format is designed to store and manipulate data defined on a spatial lattice.
This format was originally derived from the W-SLDA project. The format is designed to be conceptually easy to understand, which turns out to be an important issue for academic applications where students are typically involved.
Presently the format support lattices in 1D, 2D, and 3D. Real, complex, and vector variables can be stored. To learn more, see Wiki pages.

C library compilation

The package contains C (standard C99) library and tools supporting data manipulation.
Edit header of Makefile and execute

make

Note: to compile the tools you will need to install W-interp library first. To compile only the library execute

make lib

The C libary is stored in libwdata.a (static lib) and libwdata.so (dynamically linked lib) files.

Once the library is compiled it is recommended to set system variable (preferably in .bashrc)

export WDATA=set-path
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$WDATA
export PATH=$PATH:$WDATA/bin

C library usage

To use the library you need to add in your C code header file

#include "wdata.h"

To compile the code add to the compilation command

gcc ... -I$WDATA/c/ -L$WDATA -lwdata

See here for examples of usage.

Python library

It is clone of repository:

git subtree pull --prefix python https://github.com/forbes-group/wdata branch/default --squash
