Any File Type Viewer

is a CUI/TUI tool to view any type of files made by Python.

See the wiki page for the details.

Requirements

The basic process of this software is designed to work with standard libraries of recent Python3.
To show some kinds of files, external libraries are required.

e.g.)

• numpy for numpy, xpm, np_pickle
• h5py for hdf5
• rawpy for raw_image
• numpy-stl for stl.
• Astropy for fits.

The following libraries are not always necessary but are useful if available.

• numpy for hdf5
• tabulate for sqlite3
• Matplotlib or Plotly for stl to display 3-D model.

To show images, imaging-related libraries (Currently supporting libraries are PIL (Pillow), Matplotlib, or OpenCV) or shell commands (e.g. "open" in macOS) with supporting bitmap (.bmp) files are required.

Usage

usage: aftviewer [-h] [--version] [-t TYPE] file

show the constitution of a file. Supported file types ... hdf5, pickle, numpy,
np_pickle, tar, zip, sqlite3, raw_image, jupyter, xpm, stl, fits. To see the
detailed help of each type, type 'aftviewer help -t TYPE'.

positional arguments:
  file                  input file

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

  -t TYPE, --type TYPE  specify the file type. Available types are hdf5,
                        pickle, numpy, np_pickle, tar, zip, sqlite3,
                        raw_image, jupyter, xpm, stl, fits. "aftviewer help -t
                        TYPE" will show the detailed help.
