NAME¶
pymcaroitool - PyMca region-of-interest imaging X application
SYNOPSIS¶
pymcaroitool [OPTIONS]... [FILE(S)]
DESCRIPTION¶
Start the graphical user interface of the PyMca X-Ray Fluorescence Toolkit
region-of-interest imaging tool.
This tool is best suited for handling datasets that can be represented by
three-dimensional arrays. Typical cases are stacks of images (first dimension
is image number) or 2D maps of 1D spectra (last dimension is spectrum channel
number).
It allows one to display maps of particular regions of the spectra or spectra of
a particular region of the map.
A system of plugins allow to extend the capabilities of this tool. Plugins for
multivariate analysis are already built in.
If FILE is given, it will be opened in the program provided its format is
supported.
EXAMPLES¶
pymcaroitool
Start the program with a file browser to select the input files.
pymcaroitool file_0001.edf
Tries to open the file named file_0001.edf and all indexed files of the form
file_????.edf where ???? is a number.
pymcaroitool --imagestack=1 file_0001.edf
Tries to open the file named file_0001.edf and all indexed files of the form
file_????.edf where ???? is a number as a set of images.
pymcaroitool uncompressed_tiff_file_0001.tif
Tries to open a series of uncompressed TIFF files as an image stack.
pymcaroitool --begin=100 --end=200 --filepattern=file_%05d.edf
Start the program loading the single indexed files from file_00100.edf to
file_00200.edf
pymcaroitool --begin=10,100 --end=20,200 --filepattern=row%d_col%03d.dat
Load the double indexed files from row10_col100.dat, row10_col101.dat, ... to
row20_col00199.dat, row20_col00200.dat
CAVEATS¶
If files f_000.xxx and f_001.xxx are present in the same directory, the program
will always try to load both of them unless a cumbersome way using a file
pattern is used.
