MicroscopePSFs Development Guide

Build & Test Commands

• Run all tests: julia --project -e "using Pkg; Pkg.test()"
• Run specific test: Create a custom script with specific testset, e.g.:

using Test, MicroscopePSFs
@testset "MyTest" begin
    # Test code here
end

• Build docs: julia --project=docs/ docs/make.jl

Style Guidelines

• Naming: Types use PascalCase; functions/variables use snake_case; mutating functions use bang suffix (!)
• Typing: Use strong typing for function parameters and struct fields
• Documentation: Write docstrings for all public functions with description, arguments, returns, and examples
• Imports: Group by standard library followed by third-party packages
• Error handling: Use descriptive error messages with throw(ArgumentError("message"))
• Physics variables: Use Unicode math symbols (λ, nₐ) for readability when appropriate
• Testing: Write tests that verify mathematical correctness using isapprox for floating-point comparisons

Visualization

• Use CairoMakie for examples in dev folder and documentation, but don't make it a dependency in the main package
