HistoryTrace¶

class mesmerize.analysis.data_types.HistoryTrace(history: Dict[Union[uuid.UUID, str], List[Dict]] = None, data_blocks: List[Union[uuid.UUID, str]] = None)[source]¶

Structure of a history trace:

A dict with keys that are the block_ids. Each dict value is a list of operation_dicts. Each operation_dict has a single key which is the name of the operation and the value of that key is the operation parameters.

{block_id_1: [

{operation_1:

{

param_1: a,

param_2: b,

param_n, z

}

},

{operation_2:

{

param_1: a,

param_n, z

}

},

…

{operation_n:

{

param_n: x

}

}

]

block_id_2: <list of operation dicts>,

…

block_id_n: <list of operation dicts>

}

The main dict illustrated above should never be worked with directly.

You must use the helper methods of this class to query or add information
