Fathom quick start

SPM-Kit computes. Fathom lets the researcher inspect, configure and operate those computations interactively. Fathom is installed with SPM-Kit; it is not a separate numerical package.

First session

  1. Install the GUI extra: python -m pip install "spmkit[gui] @ git+https://github.com/kegouro/spmkit@main".
  2. Launch spmkit gui, optionally followed by a file path.
  3. Open a file with Ctrl+O or drag it onto the workspace.
  4. Inspect the proposed routing. A mixed file may ask whether to open it as an image or force map.
  5. Choose a perspective from the top bar or press Ctrl+K and search by name.
  6. Configure the visible parameters. Record tip radius, fit model, leveling or thresholds when they affect the result.
  7. Run the analysis and inspect the result, residuals, R² or other available quality indicators.
  8. Export a figure/result/report as appropriate.
  9. Save a .spmproj project with Ctrl+S when the workflow supports it.
  10. Keep the source file, software version and exported provenance with the result.
