H5 - how to import tracking type "ellipse"?

[carlitomu]

Hi,
I'm trying to import some H5 files with tracking type "ellipse" in the "import tracking data" tab, but the tracking type options available are "skeleton" and "box". So there'sn't "ellipse" option.

How can import these "ellipse" H5 files correctly?

Thanks,
Carlo.

Hello @carlitomu ! There is an ellipse option - it was added 4-5 months ago, you would not see it if you were running an older version of SimBA. Could you upgrade SimBA with pip install simba-uw-tf-dev --upgrade or pip install simba-uw-tf-dev==0.87.7 and let me know if you see it?

Thanks.

I used "pip install simba-uw-tf-dev==0.87.7" (in the terminal in the Anaconda environment, working with OSX).
and now I get this:

I tried to follow the instructions for the installation on mac (https://simba-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/docs/intro/installation.html), but I can't solve the problem: i can't launch simba again :(

Oh I have not seen this one before but it's a matplotlib issue, before launching Simba with simba, could you try this recommendation, ludwig-ai/ludwig#114

So type conda install matplotlib, to make sure your matplotlib version is above 3.0 ?

After conda install matplotlib and simba, I get this code:

(I also checked the matplotlib version: it's the 3.0.3)

Hi,
Please start a new environment and follow the steps, make sure that the version of python that you are using is 3.6.13.

One quick note is to make sure in your conda environment, tk has a version of 8.6.10

Hi,
I followed your instructions (tk 8.6.10 and python 3.6.13 in a new environment) and...

Thanks!
