`psychopy.misc` - miscellaneous routines for converting units etc¶

Wrapper for all miscellaneous functions and classes from psychopy.tools

psychopy.misc has gradually grown very large and the underlying code for its functions are distributed in multiple files. You can still (at least for now) import the functions here using from psychopy import misc but you can also import them from the tools sub-modules.

From `psychopy.tools.filetools`¶

`toFile`(filename, data)	Save data (of any sort) as a pickle file.
`fromFile`(filename[, encoding])	Load data from a psydat, pickle or JSON file.
`mergeFolder`(src, dst[, pattern])	Merge a folder into another.

From `psychopy.tools.colorspacetools`¶

`dkl2rgb`(dkl[, conversionMatrix])	Convert from DKL color space (Derrington, Krauskopf & Lennie) to RGB.
`dklCart2rgb`(LUM, LM, S[, conversionMatrix])	Like dkl2rgb except that it uses cartesian coords (LM,S,LUM) rather than spherical coords for DKL (elev, azim, contr).
`rgb2dklCart`(picture[, conversionMatrix])	Convert an RGB image into Cartesian DKL space.
`hsv2rgb`(hsv_Nx3)	Convert from HSV color space to RGB gun values.
`lms2rgb`(lms_Nx3[, conversionMatrix])	Convert from cone space (Long, Medium, Short) to RGB.
`rgb2lms`(rgb_Nx3[, conversionMatrix])	Convert from RGB to cone space (LMS).
`dkl2rgb`(dkl[, conversionMatrix])	Convert from DKL color space (Derrington, Krauskopf & Lennie) to RGB.

From `psychopy.tools.coordinatetools`¶

`cart2pol`(x, y[, units])	Convert from cartesian to polar coordinates.
`cart2sph`(z, y, x)	Convert from cartesian coordinates (x,y,z) to spherical (elevation, azimuth, radius).
`pol2cart`(theta, radius[, units])	Convert from polar to cartesian coordinates.
`sph2cart`(*args)	Convert from spherical coordinates (elevation, azimuth, radius) to cartesian (x,y,z).

From `psychopy.tools.monitorunittools`¶

`convertToPix`(vertices, pos, units, win)	Takes vertices and position, combines and converts to pixels from any unit
`cm2pix`(cm, monitor)	Convert size in cm to size in pixels for a given Monitor object.
`cm2deg`(cm, monitor[, correctFlat])	Convert size in cm to size in degrees for a given Monitor object
`deg2cm`(degrees, monitor[, correctFlat])	Convert size in degrees to size in pixels for a given Monitor object.
`deg2pix`(degrees, monitor[, correctFlat])	Convert size in degrees to size in pixels for a given Monitor object
`pix2cm`(pixels, monitor)	Convert size in pixels to size in cm for a given Monitor object
`pix2deg`(pixels, monitor[, correctFlat])	Convert size in pixels to size in degrees for a given Monitor object

From `psychopy.tools.imagetools`¶

`array2image`(a)	Takes an array and returns an image object (PIL).
`image2array`(im)	Takes an image object (PIL) and returns a numpy array.
`makeImageAuto`(inarray)	Combines float_uint8 and image2array operations ie.

From `psychopy.tools.plottools`¶

plotFrameIntervals(intervals)

Plot a histogram of the frame intervals.

From `psychopy.tools.typetools`¶

`float_uint8`(inarray)	Converts arrays, lists, tuples and floats ranging -1:1 into an array of Uint8s ranging 0:255
`uint8_float`(inarray)	Converts arrays, lists, tuples and UINTs ranging 0:255 into an array of floats ranging -1:1
`float_uint16`(inarray)	Converts arrays, lists, tuples and floats ranging -1:1 into an array of Uint16s ranging 0:2^16

From `psychopy.tools.unittools`¶

`radians`	radians(x, /, out=None, *, where=True, casting='same_kind', order='K', dtype=None, subok=True[, signature, extobj])
`degrees`	degrees(x, /, out=None, *, where=True, casting='same_kind', order='K', dtype=None, subok=True[, signature, extobj])
