starfile

License PyPI Python Version CI codecov

starfile is a package for reading and writing STAR files in Python.

starfile can be used interactively to inspect/explore files or in scripts and larger software packages to provide basic STAR file I/O functions. Data is exposed as simple python dictionaries or pandas dataframes.

This package was designed principally for compatibility with files generated by RELION.

For more information on working with dataframes, please see the pandas docs.

For starfile specific documentation, see teamtomo.org/starfile


Quickstart

For the following file particles.star with a single data block

data_particles

Read the file

import starfile

df = starfile.read('particles.star')

Interact with the data

df['rlnCoordinateX'] += 10
df.head()
