[section Abstract]
|
|
|
|
This C++11 library implements two easy-to-use and powerful n-dimensional [@https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histogram histogram] classes, using a policy-based design, optimized for convenience, customizability, and highest performance.
|
|
|
|
Two histogram implementations in C++ are included. [classref boost::histogram::static_histogram static_histogram] exploits compile-time information as much as possible to provide the maximum performance, but has no run-time flexibility. [classref boost::histogram::dynamic_histogram dynamic_histogram] makes the opposite trade-off. The two classes share an interface. Optional Python bindings for the [classref boost::histogram::dynamic_histogram dynamic_histogram] are included, based on [@boost:/libs/python/index.html Boost.Python]. Optional serialization support is implemented, based on [@boost:/libs/serialization/index.html Boost.Serialization].

The histograms have value semantics. Move operations and trips over the language boundary from C++ to Python and back are cheap. Histograms can be streamed from/to files and pickled in Python. [@http://www.numpy.org Numpy] is supported to speed up operations in Python: histograms can be filled with Numpy arrays at high speed (*faster* than Numpy's own histogram functions) and are convertible into Numpy arrays without copying data.
|
|
|
|
My goal is to submit this project to [@http://www.boost.org Boost], that's why it uses the Boost directory structure and namespace. The code is released under the [@http://www.boost.org/LICENSE_1_0.txt Boost Software License].
