AngstromPro: A software platform for STM data management, visualization and analysis
Modern scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) experiments increasingly generate multidimensional datasets that require coordinated data management, visualization, and analysis. We present AngstromPro, an open-source Python-based software platform designed to support these activities within a common interactive environment. Its application architecture organizes inapplication data through independent module instances, each combining a Workspace with a common structure and module-specific visualization and interaction. Scientific processing methods are registered independently of individual modules and operate on explicitly selected inputs through common execution services. A unified I/O subsystem maps heterogeneous ondisk formats to supported in-application data types. The plugin subsystem can add new modules, processing methods, I/O handlers, and in-application data types without modifying the core package. Representative workflows demonstrate the integration of established methods. In the registration example, the normalized cross-correlation maximum increases from 0.855 to 0.966. AngstromPro therefore provides an integrated software architecture for organizing, visualizing, processing, and extending STM data-analysis workflows.
