Laboratory for Fluorescence Dynamics (LFD) file formats.

Lfdfiles is a Python library and console script for reading, writing, converting, and viewing many of the proprietary file formats used to store experimental data and metadata at the Laboratory for Fluorescence Dynamics. Supported formats include:

• SimFCS VPL, VPP, JRN, BIN, INT, CYL, REF, BH, BHZ, B64, I64, Z64, R64
• GLOBALS LIF, ASCII
• CCP4 MAP
• Vaa3D RAW
• Bio-Rad(r) PIC
• ISS Vista IFLI, IFI
• FlimFast FLIF

Changes

• Remove FlimboxFbd, FlimboxFbf, and FlimboxFbs (breaking; use fbdfile).
• Remove CziFile, NetpbmFile, OifFile, and TiffFile wrappers (breaking).
• Add typed __init__ overrides to subclasses with class-specific parameters.
• Drop support for numpy 2.0 (SPEC0).
