Qt5 ABIF file reader for Genetic Analysis

QAbifReader is a Qt library to load data from an abif file following the specification of Abif file format. It allows you to read all content of ab1 and fsa file. But it doesn't provide any widget to show data. You can do it easily using QCustomPlot

Example

Dependencies

Requires Qt 5.4 or higher Not tested on previous version, but it should work.

Installation

Just copy abifreader.cpp and abifreader.h to your main project

Use

AbifReader reader("file.fsa")
QVariantList peaks = reader.data("Data.1").toList() 

## Full example

  #include <QApplication>
  #include "qcustomplot.h"
  #include "abireader.h"
  
  int main(int argc, char *argv[])
  {

      QApplication a(argc, argv);
      QCustomPlot * customPlot = new QCustomPlot;
     
      AbifReader r = AbifReader("/home/sacha/temp/M.fsa");
      QVariantList list = r.data("DATA.1").toList(); 

      QVector<double> x(list.size()), y(list.size());
      QVector<double> y(list.size());

      for (int i=0; i<list.size(); ++i)
      {
          x[i] = i;
          y[i] = list.at(i).toDouble();
      }
      customPlot->addGraph();
      customPlot->graph(0)->setData(x, y);
  
      // give the axes some labels:
      customPlot->xAxis->setLabel("x");
      customPlot->yAxis->setLabel("y");
      
      customPlot->setInteraction(QCP::iRangeZoom,true);
      customPlot->setInteraction(QCP::iRangeDrag,true);
      customPlot->replot();
      customPlot->rescaleAxes();
      customPlot->show();
      customPlot->resize(800,400);
      return a.exec();
}
