# ARL Python Tools

[![CI](https://github.com/org-arl/arlpy/workflows/CI/badge.svg)](https://github.com/org-arl/arlpy/actions)

Packages such as `numpy` and `scipy` provide excellent mathematical tools for
scientists and engineers using Python. However, these packages are still young
and evolving, and understandably have some gaps, especially when it comes to
domain-specific requirements. The `arlpy` package aims to fill in some of the
gaps in the areas of underwater acoustics, signal processing, and communication.
Additionally, `arlpy` also includes some commonly needed utilities and plotting
routines based on `bokeh`.

## General modules

The following modules are general and are likely to be of interest to researchers
and developers working on signal processing, communication and underwater acoustics:

* Signal processing (`arlpy.signal`)
* Communications (`arlpy.comms`)
* Beamforming and array processing (`arlpy.bf`)
* Stable distributions (`arlpy.stable`)
* Geographical coordinates (`arlpy.geo`)
* Underwater acoustics (`arlpy.uwa`)
* Underwater acoustic propagation modeling (`arlpy.uwapm`)
* Plotting utilities (`arlpy.plot`)
* Common utilities (`arlpy.utils`)

## Special-purpose modules

The following modules are specific to tools available at the ARL and may not be of
general interest to others:

* Digital Towed Array (`arlpy.dtla`)
* ROMANIS (`arlpy.romanis`)
* HiDAQ (`arlpy.hidaq`)
* UNET (`arlpy.unet`)

## Usage

Installation::
```
pip install arlpy
```

To import all general modules::
```
import arlpy
```

## Notes

Png export of bokeh plots requires `selenium`, `pillow` and `phantomjs`. These are not
installed as automatic depdendencies, since they are optional and only required
for png export. These should be installed manually, if desired.
