  Programming Lang: C++, Python
  Description     : Library for processing Atom Probe Tomography (APT) data

 This provides a C++ library for the scientific analysis
 of real valued point data (x,y,z,value). This is primarily targeted
 towards Atom probe tomography applications, but may prove useful to
 other applications as well.
 .
 The package includes both its own C++ and SWIG based python interfaces

This package provide tools for processing mass spectra data from Atom
Probe systems, such as developed by Ametek. Functions in the library
include spectra processing algorithms, 3D point data computation, and
file IO routines for specific APT types.

It is anticipated that this will become a future dependency for the
existing 3Depict package. This is intended to be maintained as part of
the Debian Science team.

There are no other packages that provide the coverage of data processing
routines in APT, as this is specialised research equipment.

A sponsor is needed, to quality-check and ultimately for upload.
