LEFO Standalone Scripts

What is this?

Standalone scripts, or tools, mostly using R, Python or Bash, that members of the Plant Functional Ecology Laboratory (LEFO) put together. The tools cover various data processing and analysis tasks that we commonly do using different softwares or platforms.

Softwares or platforms

• 3DFin: related to 3D Forest INventory
• DJI: related to DJI products such as D-RTK 2 base station logs
• Labelbox: related to Labelbox, an online labeling platform
• Metashape: related to Agisoft Metashape, a software used for photogrammetry
• lefoai: scripts to be used on our Linux server

How to find the scripts

First go to the folder corresponding to the software or platform of interest. Every single tool, or standalone script, should be in a separate file with a short name that should allow you to find it. A README file should be available in each folder to explain the different files.

Clone the repo on your computer to run a script. A list of required libraries is available inside each script, usually in the header.

How to contribute

1. Clone the repo
2. Always pull before you start
3. Create a file / folder for your script at the right place
4. Preferably, the script should be in R (.R), Python (.py) or Bash (.sh)
5. Add any files / folders too large for Github to the .gitignore file
