>>> project = SwiftLibraryReader("Nion Swift Project 20221025.nsproj")

If pandas is installed, the get_data_items_properties returns a Pandas DataFrame.

Using Pandas syntax, it is very easy to select the information that you want to display. For example, to display only the title and data_shape columns of the DataFrame:

>>> df = project.get_data_items_properties()
>>> df[["title", "data_shape"]]
                                title        data_shape
0                                EELS       [128, 1024]
1                     Orsay Scan (BF)        [512, 512]
2                                EELS            [1024]
3              Orsay Scan (eels_spim)  [256, 256, 1024]
4  Pick Sum of Orsay Scan (eels_spim)        <Not data>

To filter data based on its title:

>>> df[df['title'].str.endswith("(BF)")]['title']
1    Orsay Scan (BF)
Name: title, dtype: object

To load data as a HyperSpy signal:

>>> s = project.load_data(0)
>>> s
<LazySignal2D, title: , dimensions: (|1024, 128)>
