Re: [Imgcif-l] Reading CBF files from Python

Graeme,

Vanilla image decompression is straightforward with cctbx:

from cbflib_ext import MiniCBFAdaptor
adaptor = MiniCBFAdaptor("image.cbf")
rawdata = adaptor.optimized_read_data(2048,2048)
#The data can be accessed by x,y address:
for x in xrange(2048):
  for y in xrange(2048):
    print rawdata[x,y]

I don't think there's anything in cctbx that will compress the data to 
file.  I'll work on this later today & see if I can wrap up the basic 
compression routine.

Nick
