What is aniread?

aniread stops asking you to know which tracker wrote the file

aniread is the reader package of the animovement suite, importing output from pose-estimation, centroid and behavioural-scoring tools into aniframe objects. Through 0.5.x the work was per-reader: get_supported_sources() exposed the format list programmatically, read_boris() added behavioural events, and Octron and BORIS each got targeted fixes. 0.6.0 changes the shape of the interface itself — read_dataset() takes any supported file through one entry point and detect_source() works out which software wrote it by inspecting contents, not just the suffix.

What is see?

see grows wherever easystats adds a diagnostic, one plot method at a time.

see is the visualization layer for the easystats ecosystem, supplying plot() methods for performance, parameters and datawizard objects. Each release adds methods for whatever those packages shipped — prior predictive checks, DAG diagrams, factor-analysis graphs — alongside steady theme and geom refinement.

aniread stops asking you to know which tracker wrote the file

◆ Current state

aniread is the reader package of the animovement suite, importing output from pose-estimation, centroid and behavioural-scoring tools into aniframe objects. Through 0.5.x the work was per-reader: get_supported_sources() exposed the format list programmatically, read_boris() added behavioural events, and Octron and BORIS each got targeted fixes. 0.6.0 changes the shape of the interface itself — read_dataset() takes any supported file through one entry point and detect_source() works out which software wrote it by inspecting contents, not just the suffix.

◆ Where it's heading

The package is moving from a set of named readers to a dispatcher with the readers behind it, and the hard part is being handled rather than hidden: twelve sources emit .csv, so detection narrows by suffix then inspects content, and DeepLabCut and LightningPose files are structurally identical so it returns the combined 'deeplabcut/lightningpose' rather than guessing wrong. The honesty extends to gaps — optional-dependency detectors are skipped when the package is absent and the error names what was skipped, and SLEAP's csv suffix was withdrawn because auto-detection would have routed files into a reader that cannot read them. Alongside this, read_trackball() was substantially repaired for real two-sensor Bonsai captures, where alignment, clocks, corrupt rows and gap filling were each independently wrong.

◆ Prediction

Expect the withdrawn SLEAP csv suffix to return once read_sleap() gains support, since the changelog explicitly parks it against issue #87. Further detectors are the natural next increment, and the sensor-local-clock warning class suggests trackball alignment is not finished.

see grows wherever easystats adds a diagnostic, one plot method at a time.

◆ Current state

see is the visualization layer for the easystats ecosystem, supplying plot() methods for performance, parameters and datawizard objects. Each release adds methods for whatever those packages shipped — prior predictive checks, DAG diagrams, factor-analysis graphs — alongside steady theme and geom refinement.

◆ Where it's heading

Growth here is downstream-driven rather than self-directed: see expands to cover new diagnostics as easystats produces them. Running alongside that is a sustained investment in presentation control — theme arguments on plot methods, elements that scale with base_size — which suits users embedding these plots in documents rather than glancing at them interactively.

◆ Prediction

Expect new plot methods to keep arriving in step with performance and parameters releases, with continued theming work rather than any change in the package's scope.
