Overview

The SanPy API is split into two main sections

1) Backend. This is where most of the work will be done. It provides the core functionality and all code can easily be used in a script, a Jupyter notebook, or an existing Python package.

2) Frontend. This is the code that drives the SanPy desktop GUI.

See an example of how to use the backend API to load, analyze, and plot.

The backend provides three additional software architectures that provide a powerful and easy to use mechanism to extend the capabilities of SanPy including:

• Custom File Loaders. With this, new raw data formats can be loaded into SanPy.

• Extending the core analysis. With this, new analysis can be performed and automatically integrated into the main SanPy analysis.

• Writing new plugins. With this, new plugins can be created for use in the frontend desktop GUI.
