GAMMA Command API

This is an attempt to make it easier to execute GAMMA commands by offering automatically parsed Python functions. Thus, instead of executing the command via shell:

offset_fit offs ccp off.par coffs - 0.15 3 0 > offset_fit.log

one can wrap it in a Python script:

import os
from pyroSAR.gamma.api import isp

workdir = '/data/gamma_workdir'

parameters = {'offs': os.path.join(workdir, 'offs'),
              'ccp': os.path.join(workdir, 'ccp'),
              'OFF_par': os.path.join(workdir, 'off.par'),
              'coffs': os.path.join(workdir, 'coffs'),
              'thres': 0.15,
              'npoly': 3,
              'interact_flag': 0,
              'logpath': workdir}

isp.offset_fit(**parameters)

A file offset_fit.log containing the output of the command is written in both cases. Any parameters, which should not be written and need to be set to - in the shell can be omitted in the Python call since all optional parameters of the functions are already defined with ‘-’ as a default. The documentation can be called like with any Python function:

from pyroSAR.gamma.api import isp
help(isp.offset_fit)

Parser Documentation

pyroSAR.gamma.parser.autoparse()[source]

automatic parsing of GAMMA commands. This function will detect the GAMMA installation via environment variable GAMMA_HOME, detect all available modules (e.g. ISP, DIFF) and parse all the module’s commands via function parse_module(). A new Python module will be created called gammaparse, which is stored under $HOME/.pyrosar. Upon importing the pyroSAR.gamma submodule, this function is run automatically and module gammaparse is imported as api.

Examples

>>> from pyroSAR.gamma.api import diff
>>> print('create_dem_par' in dir(diff))
True
pyroSAR.gamma.parser.parse_command(command, indent='    ')[source]

Parse the help text of a GAMMA command to a Python function including a docstring. The docstring is in rst format and can thu be parsed by e.g. sphinx. This function is not intended to be used by itself, but rather within function parse_module().

Parameters:
  • command (str) – the name of the gamma command

  • indent (str) – the Python function indentation string; default: four spaces

Returns:

the full Python function text

Return type:

str

pyroSAR.gamma.parser.parse_module(bindir, outfile)[source]

parse all Gamma commands of a module to functions and save them to a Python script.

Parameters:
  • bindir (str) – the bin directory of a module containing the commands

  • outfile (str) – the name of the Python file to write

Examples

>>> import os
>>> from pyroSAR.gamma.parser import parse_module
>>> outname = os.path.join(os.environ['HOME'], 'isp.py')
>>> parse_module('/cluster/GAMMA_SOFTWARE-20161207/ISP/bin', outname)

API Demo

This is a demonstration of an output script as generated automatically by function parse_module() for the GAMMA module ISP. Within each function, the command name and all parameters are passed to function process(), which converts all input to str and then calls the command via the subprocess module.

Parameters:
  • mode

    Specify the script string output:
    • 0: raster file extension (ras, bmp, or tif)

    • 1: OS type: Linux, MINGW64_NT-10.0, CYGWIN_NT-10.0, darwin…

TIFF files do not have this limitation. To set the default image raster format for Gamma programs, set the environment variable GAMMA_RASTER as follows: bash: export GAMMA_RASTER=SUN_RASTER #extension: ras export GAMMA_RASTER=BMP #extension: bmp export GAMMA_RASTER=TIFF #extension: tif csh,tcsh: setenv GAMMA_RASTER SUN_RASTER #extension: ras setenv GAMMA_RASTER BMP #extension: bmp setenv GAMMA_RASTER TIFF #extension: tif Environment variables can be set either in processing scripts, or in the shell initialization file (e.g. .bashrc) Programs in the Gamma software that generate raster image files query the value of GAMMA_RASTER if it has been defined. This script can be called from within another script to determine the default raster image format or OS type: bash: $ext=`get_GAMMA_RASTER 0` csh,tcsh: set ext=`get_GAMMA_RASTER 0` The variable $ext can then be used to specify the format of the output raster file by using it to construct the output file name: bash: $my_raster=$my_name”.”$ext csh/tcsh: set my_raster=$my_name”.”$ext OS: Linux GAMMA_RASTER value: TIFF
