Dame is a SIR file viewer. It's focused on comparing and interpreting two SIR files together. It is written in Python using the Qt toolkit, so it should be cross-platform, but has only been tested on Linux.

Dame is distributed under the MIT license.

• Python 2.7 or Python 3.3
• PyQt4 or PySide
• NumPy
• libsir

Dame can:

• Load a SIR image (using the C SIR library)
• Display the pretty-printed SIR header
• Pan around the image by middle-click dragging
• Display information about the currently selected pixel
• Popup a magnified view of the selected region
• Use keyboard shortcuts to move crosshair (hjkl to move one pixel, use shift to move five pixels)
• Change image display range
• Store temporary notes in a dock widget
• Comparison view
  • Split view of two SIR files
  • For a given pixel, display the SIR values for both images simultaneously
  • Crossfade between the two SIR files (coming soon)

dame is in the AUR, along with libsir, an important dependency.

Ensure the standard dependencies are installed (Python, PyQt4, etc). The SIR C library requires a little more effort.

Download libsir from the MERS lab. It needs a few modifications to compile with a modern version of glibc. Also, the Makefile requires modifications to compile a shared library. Patches are available on the libsir AUR page, I recommend taking a look at the PKGBUILD and the patches to see how to compile and install libsir.

With libsir installed, dame should run just fine.
