NAME

MS::Reader::ImzML - A simple but complete imzML parser

SYNOPSIS

use MS::Reader::ImzML;

my $run = MS::Reader::ImzML->new('run.imzML');

while (my $spectrum = $run->next_spectrum) {

    # see MS::Reader::ImzML::Spectrum, MS::Reader::MzML::Spectrum and
    # MS::Spectrum for all available methods

}

$spectrum = $run->fetch_spectrum(0);  # first spectrum
$spectrum = $run->find_by_time(1500); # in seconds

DESCRIPTION

MS::Reader::ImzML is a parser for the standard imzML format for raw imaging mass spectrometry data. It aims to provide complete access to the data contents while not being overburdened by detailed class infrastructure.

MS::Reader::ImzML provides a fairly thin layer on top of MS::Reader::MzML, from which it inherits, in order to handle reading of binary data from separate files (and associated file checks, etc) as well as returning MS::Reader::ImzML::Spectrum objects which add several imaging MS-specific methods.

METHODS

MS::Reader::ImzML is a subclass of MS::Reader::MzML and does not add any additional methods. Please see the documentation for that class for documentation of available methods.

CAVEATS AND BUGS

The API is in alpha stage and is not guaranteed to be stable.
