Welcome to opatio’s documentation!

opatio is a Python library for handling OPAT (Open Parameterized Array Table) files…

Indroduction

OPAT is a structured binary file format defined by the 4D-STAR collaboration as the format which will be used to store all tabular data for SERiF. This python module provides tools for interacting with (reading, generating, and interpolating) OPAT files. In general the intended usage of opatio is that astronomers create opat tables for the physics they want to work with and then pass those files to SERiF. This means that for the vast majority of people this module, the python module, is the vector through which they should interact with OPAT.
