imodfile — Read, write, and inspect IMOD model files.

Provides a Pythonic interface to the `.mod` file format used by the
`IMOD <https://bio3d.colorado.edu/imod/>`_ electron microscopy toolkit.

Basic usage::

    import imodfile

    # ── Load ──
    model = imodfile.load("cells.mod")
    print(f"{len(model)} objects, image size {model.image_size}")

    for obj in model.objects:
        for cont in obj.contours:
            pts = cont.points          # ndarray (N, 3), float32
            xs, ys, zs = pts[:, 0], pts[:, 1], pts[:, 2]

    # ── Create ──
    obj = model.add_object()
    obj.name = "mitochondria"
    obj.color = (1.0, 0.0, 0.0)

    cont = obj.add_contour()
    cont.points = np.array([[0,0,0], [1,0,0], [0,1,0]], dtype=np.float32)
    cont.surface = 0
    cont.time = 1

    # ── Save ──
    model.save("output.mod")
    model.save("output.txt")            # ASCII format
    model.save_points("points.txt")     # point dump
