Log gaze analysis
=================

[ArFrame](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArFeatures.ArFrame) and [ArLayer](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArFeatures.ArLayer) logging are optional pipeline steps. They are executed at each new scan path step to update logs.

## Enable ArFrame and ArLayer logging

[ArFrame](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArFeatures.ArFrame) and [ArLayer](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArFeatures.ArLayer) have a log attribute to enable analysis logging.

Here is the JSON ArFrame configuration file example where logging is enabled for the ArFrame and for one ArLayer:

```json
{
    "name": "My FullHD screen",
    "size": [1920, 1080],
    "log": true,
    ...
    "layers": {
        "MyLayer": {
            "log": true,
            ...
        }
    }
}
```

Then, here is how to access to logs dictionaries:

```python
# Assuming that all timestamped gaze positions have been processed by ArFrame.look method
...

# Access to ArFame scan path analysis logs
for analysis, log in ar_frame.logs.items():
    
    # Do something with scan path analysis log
    ...

# Access to ArLayers AOI scan path analysis logs
for layer_name, layer in ar_frame.layers.items():

    for analysis, log in layer.logs.items():

        # Do something with AOI scan path analysis log
        ...
```

!!! note
    [ArFrame](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArFeatures.ArFrame) and its [ArLayers](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArFeatures.ArLayer) logging are automatically done each time the [ArFrame.look](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArFeatures.ArFrame.look) method is called.  
    [ArFrame](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArFeatures.ArFrame) logging records each scan path analysis into a dedicated timestamped data buffer each time a new scan path step happens.  
    [ArLayer](../../argaze.md/#argaze.ArFeatures.ArLayer) logging records each AOI scan path analysis into a dedicated timestamped data buffer each time a new AOI scan path step happens.

## Export gaze analysis logs to CSV file

It is possible to convert gaze analysis log as [Pandas DataFrame](https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/getting_started/intro_tutorials/01_table_oriented.html#min-tut-01-tableoriented) object which can be writen into a CSV file.

```python
import pandas

# Assuming that all timestamped gaze positions have been processed by ArFrame.look method
...

# Export ArFame scan path analysis logs
for analysis, log in ar_frame.logs.items():
    
    log.as_dataframe().to_csv(f'./{ar_frame.name}_{analysis}.csv')

# Export ArLayers layers AOI scan path analysis logs
for layer_name, layer in ar_frame.layers.items():

    for analysis, log in layer.logs.items():

        log.as_dataframe().to_csv(f'./{ar_frame.name}_{layer_name}_{analysis}.csv')

```

Assuming that [ArGaze.GazeAnalysis.Basic](../../argaze.md/#argaze.GazeAnalysis.Basic) scan path analysis module is enabled for 'My FullHD screen' ArFrame, a ***My FullHD screen_argaze.GazeAnalysis.Basic.csv*** file would be created:

|timestamped|path_duration|step_fixation_durations_average|steps_number|
|:----------|:------------|:------------------------------|:-----------|
|3460       |1750         |563.0                          |2           |
|4291       |2623         |652.0                          |3           |
|4769       |3107         |544.0                          |4           |
|6077       |4411         |652.8                          |5           |
|6433       |4760         |595.1                          |6           |
|7719       |6050         |652.8                          |7           |
|...        |...          |...                            |...         |

Assuming that [ArGaze.GazeAnalysis.NGram](../../argaze.md/#argaze.GazeAnalysis.NGram) AOI scan path analysis module is enabled for 'MyLayer' ArLayer, a ***My FullHD screen_MyLayer_argaze.GazeAnalysis.NGram.csv*** file would be created:

|timestamped|ngrams_count|
|:----------|:-----------|
|5687       |"{3: {}, 4: {}, 5: {}}"|
|6208       |"{3: {('upper_left_corner', 'lower_left_corner', 'lower_right_corner'): 1}, 4: {}, 5: {}}"|
|...        |...         |
