Plaintext Metadata
==================

The plaintext metadata module is catch all for any metadata that is provided in an unstructured, plain text format. Right now, the library supports reading NASA Ames Stereo Pipeline (ASP) pc_align text files.

The readers in the plaintextmetadata module all parse an input line by line and expose the data provided in each line as a separate field. For example, the median difference can be exposed in this manner. See :ref:`code_plaintextmetadata` for the API to use plaintext objects.
