imginfo

IMGINFO is a C/C++ program to extract selected items from meta-data stored in HDF5 (so-called "master") files that are necessary for processing rotational MX data - e.g. with autoPROC (which comes with it's own version of this program).

Getting Started

You will need

• a C/C++ compiler
• the HDF5 tools "h5cc" and "h5c++"
• several external libraries and plugins

This should be achievable e.g. on Ubuntu 22.04 using the following commands (in the same directory with this source code):

sudo apt-get install hdf5-helpers

wget -O bitshuffle-master.zip \
  https://github.com/kiyo-masui/bitshuffle/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
unzip bitshuffle-master.zip

wget -O HDF5Plugin-master.zip \
  https://github.com/dectris/HDF5Plugin/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
unzip HDF5Plugin-master.zip

wget -O HDF5-External-Filter-Plugins-master.zip \
  https://github.com/nexusformat/HDF5-External-Filter-Plugins/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
unzip HDF5-External-Filter-Plugins-master.zip

Compilation should then just work with

make

Running
