Creating Signals
================

This example focuses on creating 1D signal objects in Sigima.

There are three primary methods to create signals in Sigima:

1. **Synthetic data generation**: Using built-in parameter classes to create standard
    signal types (Gaussian, sine waves, random distributions, etc.)
2. **Loading from files**: Importing data from various file formats
3. **From NumPy arrays**: Creating objects directly from existing arrays

Each method has its use cases, and Sigima provides a consistent interface for working
with data regardless of its origin.

For visualization, we use helper functions from the ``sigima.viz`` module.
This allows us to focus on Sigima's functionality rather than visualization details.
"""

# %%
# Importing necessary modules
# ---------------------------
# First of all, we need to import the required modules.

from pprint import pprint  # For pretty-printing metadata

import numpy as np

import sigima
from sigima import viz
from sigima.tests import helpers

# %%
# Method 1: Creating signals from synthetic parameters
# ----------------------------------------------------
#
# Sigima provides built-in generators for common signal types. This is the most
# convenient method when you need standard mathematical functions or random
# distributions.
#
# Available signal types include:
#
# - Mathematical functions: Gaussian, Lorentzian, Sinc, Sine, Cosine, etc.
# - Random distributions: Normal, Uniform, Poisson
# - Standard waveforms: Square, Sawtooth, Triangle
# - Special functions: Planck (blackbody), Linear chirp, Step, Exponential

# Let's consider a spectroscopy context, where we often deal with Gaussian and
# Lorentzian peaks representing absorption and emission lines.
#
# Create a Gaussian signal: this represents an absorption peak in spectroscopy.
gaussian_param = sigima.create_signal_parameters(
    sigima.SignalTypes.GAUSS,  # Type of signal to create
    title="Absorption Peak",
    size=500,  # Number of points
    xlabel="Wavelength",
    ylabel="Absorbance",
    xunit="nm",
    yunit="a.u.",
    xmin=400.0,  # Minimum x value (wavelength)
    xmax=700.0,  # Maximum x value
    a=2.5,  # Amplitude
    mu=550.0,  # Center wavelength (green light)
    sigma=25.0,  # Peak width
)
signal_synthetic = sigima.create_signal_from_param(gaussian_param)

# Create a Lorentzian signal representing a different spectral line: this represents an
# emission line in atomic emission spectroscopy.
lorentzian_param = sigima.create_signal_parameters(
    sigima.SignalTypes.LORENTZ,
    title="Emission Line",
    size=500,
    xlabel="Wavelength",
    ylabel="Intensity",
    xunit="nm",
    yunit="a.u.",
    xmin=400.0,
    xmax=700.0,
    a=1.8,  # Amplitude
    mu=480.0,  # Center wavelength (blue light)
    sigma=15.0,  # Peak width
)
signal_lorentzian = sigima.create_signal_from_param(lorentzian_param)

print("āœ“ Synthetic signals created")
print(f"  - {signal_synthetic.title}: {signal_synthetic.y.shape[0]} points")
print(f"  - {signal_lorentzian.title}: {signal_lorentzian.y.shape[0]} points")

# Visualize synthetic signals
viz.view_curves(
    [signal_synthetic, signal_lorentzian], title="Method 1: Synthetic Signals"
)

# %%
# Method 2: Loading signals from files
# ------------------------------------
#
# Sigima can read signals from various file formats, automatically detecting the
# format and extracting metadata when available.
#
# Supported formats include:
#
# - Text files: CSV, TXT (with automatic delimiter detection)
# - Scientific formats: HDF5 (.h5sig), MAT-Files (.mat), NumPy (.npy)
# - Specialized: MCA spectrum files (.mca), FT-Lab (.sig)

# Load a real spectrum from a text file
# This is a paracetamol (acetaminophen) UV-Vis absorption spectrum
filename = helpers.get_test_fnames("paracetamol.txt")[0]
signal_from_file = sigima.read_signal(filename)

# Visualize signal loaded from text file
viz.view_curves(signal_from_file, title="Signal from Text File")

# Load another signal from a CSV file with multiple curves
csv_file = helpers.get_test_fnames("oscilloscope.csv")[0]
signals_from_csv = sigima.read_signals(csv_file)
# CSV files contain multiple signals; we'll show one
signal_from_csv = signals_from_csv[1]

# Visualize signal loaded from csv file
viz.view_curves(signal_from_csv, title="Signal from CSV File")

print("\nāœ“ Signals loaded from files")
print(f"  - {signal_from_file.title}: {signal_from_file.y.shape[0]} points")
print(f"  - {signal_from_csv.title}: {signal_from_csv.y.shape[0]} points")

# %%
# It is interesting to remark here that when importing data from files,
# Sigima automatically extracts and preserves metadata when possible.
# This includes:
#
# - **Axis labels and units**: Column headers from CSV files, variable names from
#   MAT-Files, etc.
# - **Acquisition parameters**: DICOM headers, instrument settings, timestamps
# - **Physical coordinates**: Pixel spacing, origin coordinates when stored in the file
#
# The extracted metadata is seamlessly integrated into the signal or image object,
# making it available for processing, analysis, and visualization without manual
# configuration.

pprint(signal_from_csv.metadata)

# %%
# Method 3: Creating signals from NumPy arrays
# ---------------------------------------------
#
# When you already have data in NumPy arrays (from calculations, other libraries,
# or custom data sources), you can wrap them in Sigima signal objects to benefit
# from metadata handling and processing functions.

# Create custom data: a damped oscillation (e.g., RLC circuit response)
t = np.linspace(0, 5, 1000)
damping = np.exp(-0.5 * t)
oscillation = np.sin(2 * np.pi * 3 * t)
y_damped = damping * oscillation

signal_from_array = sigima.create_signal(
    title="Damped Oscillation (from array)",
    x=t,
    y=y_damped,
    units=("s", "V"),
    labels=("Time", "Voltage"),
)

# Create the envelope signal: upper and lower bounds of the oscillation
# This is useful for analyzing the decay rate and quality factor
y_envelope_upper = damping
y_envelope_lower = -damping

# We'll create a signal showing the upper envelope
signal_envelope = sigima.create_signal(
    title="Decay Envelope (from array)",
    x=t,
    y=y_envelope_upper,
    units=("s", "V"),
    labels=("Time", "Amplitude"),
)

print("\nāœ“ Signals created from NumPy arrays")
print(f"  - {signal_from_array.title}: {signal_from_array.y.shape[0]} points")
print(f"  - {signal_envelope.title}: {signal_envelope.y.shape[0]} points")

# Visualize signals created from NumPy arrays
viz.view_curves(
    [signal_from_array, signal_envelope],
    title="Method 3: Signals from NumPy Arrays",
    object_name="signals_from_arrays",
)

# %%
# Summary
# -------
#
# This example demonstrated the three main ways to create signals in Sigima:
#
# 1. **Synthetic generation**: Fast creation of standard mathematical functions and
#    distributions using parameter classes. Perfect for testing and simulation.
#
# 2. **File loading**: Read data from various scientific and common file formats,
#    with automatic format detection and metadata extraction. Essential for working
#    with experimental data.
#
# 3. **NumPy array conversion**: Wrap existing array data with Sigima's rich metadata
#    and processing capabilities. Ideal for custom workflows and integration with
#    other Python libraries.
#
# All three methods produce equivalent Sigima objects that can be processed, analyzed,
# and visualized using the same set of tools and functions. Choose the method that
# best fits your workflow and data source.
