`biotite`#

This is the top-level package of Biotite. Although it does not provide useful functionality for most users, it does provide utilities and base classes used by a lot of Biotite’s modules.

File classes#

`File`	Base class for all file classes.
`TextFile`	Base class for all line based text files.

Visualization utilities#

`plot_scaled_text`	Create a `matplotlib.textpath.TextPath`, whose text size is given in coordinates instead of font size.
`AdaptiveFancyArrow`	A FancyArrow with fixed head shape.

Miscellaneous#

`Copyable`	Base class for all objects, that should be copyable.
`DeserializationError`
`InvalidFileError`	Indicates that the file is not suitable for the requested action, either because the file does not contain the required data or because the file is malformed.
`SerializationError`
`set_font_size_in_coord`	Specifiy the font size of an existing Text object in coordinates of the object's reference coordiante system.
