## Overview
FlowKit is a Python toolkit for flow cytometry analysis and visualization, with full support for the [GatingML 2.0 standard](http://flowcyt.sourceforge.net/gating/latest.pdf) and limited support for FlowJo 10 workspace files.
## Features
* Read / Write FCS Files
* Read FCS files, supporting FCS versions 2.0, 3.0, and 3.1
* Export FCS data as:
* A new FCS 3.1 file
* NumPy array
* Pandas DataFrame
* CSV text file
* Compensation
* Compensate events using spillover matrices from:
* $SPILL or $SPILLOVER keyword value
* FlowJo tab-delimited text
* NumPy array
* GatingML 2.0 spectrumMatrix XML element
* Transformation
* Logicle
* Inverse hyperbolic sine (ArcSinh)
* FlowJo Bi-exponential
* Hyperlog
* Logarithmic
* Channel ratios
* Linear
* Gating
* Full support for the GatingML 2.0 specification
* Import GatingML XML documents as gating strategies
* Export gating strategies as a valid GatingML XML document
* Import FlowJo 10 workspace files, supporting the following features:
* Linear, logarithmic, bi-exponential, and logicle transforms
* Polygon, rectangle, ellipse, quadrant and Boolean gates
* Programmatically create gating strategies including polygon, rectangle, range, ellipsoid, quadrant, and boolean gates
* Retrieve gating results as a Pandas DataFrame
* Visualization
* Histogram of single channel data
* Contour density plot of two channels
* Interactive scatter plot of two channels
* Interactive scatter plot matrix of any combination of channels
* Interactive scatter plots of gates with sample events
## Requirements
FlowKit supports Python version 3.9 - 3.12. All dependencies are installable
via pip, and are listed below.
> **NOTE**: FlowUtils uses C extensions for significant performance
> improvements. For most platforms and Python versions, pre-built
> binaries of FlowUtils are available in PyPI (i.e. installable via
> `pip`). If a pre-built binary is not available for your environment,
> the C extensions must be compiled using the source package.
Required Python dependencies:
* [flowio](https://github.com/whitews/flowio) >= 1.3.0
* [flowutils](https://github.com/whitews/flowutils) >= 1.1.0
* anytree >= 2.12
* bokeh >= 3.4
* contourpy >= 1.2.0
* lxml >= 5.1
* networkx >= 3.2
* numpy >= 1.22, <2
* pandas >= 2.1
* psutils >= 5.9
* scipy >= 1.11.1
## Installation
> **NOTE**: For macOS users running on Apple Silicon, the version of `pip` may need to be upgraded prior to installing FlowKit in order to install the required dependencies.
### From PyPI
```
pip install flowkit
```
### From source
Clone the repository and ensure `pip` is up-to-date.
```
git clone https://github.com/whitews/flowkit
cd flowkit
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install .
```
## Documentation
The FlowKit API documentation is available [on ReadTheDocs here](https://flowkit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/?badge=latest). The tutorial notebooks in the `docs/notebooks` directory are a great place to get started with FlowKit, and are linked below.
If you have any questions about FlowKit, find any bugs, or feel something is missing from the tutorials below [please submit an issue to the GitHub repository here](https://github.com/whitews/FlowKit/issues/new/).
### Changelogs
[Changelogs for versions are available here](https://github.com/whitews/FlowKit/releases)
### Tutorials
The series of Jupyter notebook tutorials can be found in the `docs/notebooks` directory of this repository. Note, the interactive scatterplots do not render on GitHub. The rendered versions are available on our [documentation page here](https://flowkit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/?badge=latest). Or, clone the repo and run them locally to see the fully interactive plots.
