Description: # *pyigtl*
        
        Python implementation of [OpenIGTLink](http://openigtlink.org/), a lightweight real-time data transfer protocol developed for image-guided therapy applications (surgical navigation, image-guided surgery, ultrasound-guided interventions, etc.).
        
        Tested with [3D Slicer](https://www.slicer.org) and [PLUS Toolkit](http://plustoolkit.org/).
        
        Implemented message types: IMAGE, TRANSFORM, STRING, POINT. Supports latest OpenIGTLink protocol (version 3), including custom metadata fields.
        
        ## Installation
        
        The package is not yet available on PyPI or conda, therefore you need to download the files to your computer and add it to `PYTHONPATH` environent variable (for example, `PYTHONPATH=c:/dev/pyigtl`) before starting Python. Alternatively, you can add the module path in your Python code before importing pyigtl, for example:
        
        ```
        import sys
        sys.path.append("c:/dev/pyigtl")
        ```
        
        ## Example
        
        Wait until a message is received from a device named `ToolToReference` and print the message content:
        
        ```
        from pyigtl.comm import OpenIGTLinkClient
        client = OpenIGTLinkClient(host="127.0.0.1", port=18944)
        message = client.wait_for_message("ToolToReference")
        print(message)
        ```
