GroupWorkspaces v1¶

Summary ¶

Takes workspaces as input and groups similar workspaces together.

Properties ¶

Name	Direction	Type	Default	Description
InputWorkspaces	Input	str list		Names of the Input Workspaces to Group
GlobExpression	Input	string		Add all Workspaces that match Glob expression to Group
OutputWorkspace	Output	WorkspaceGroup	Mandatory	Name of the workspace to be created as the output of grouping

Description ¶

This algorithm takes two or more workspaces as input and creates an output workspace group. A list of workspaces and a glob pattern may be specified together.

Usage ¶

# Create two workspaces
ws1 = CreateSampleWorkspace()
ws2 = CreateSampleWorkspace()

# Group them
group = GroupWorkspaces( [ws1,ws2] )

# Check the result
from mantid.api import WorkspaceGroup
print("Workspace's type is WorkspaceGroup: {}".format(isinstance(group, WorkspaceGroup)))
print('It has {} entries'.format(group.getNumberOfEntries()))
print('Its first  item is {}'.format(group.getItem(0)))
print('Its second item is {}'.format(group.getItem(1)))

wrkspc1 = CreateSampleWorkspace()
wrkspc2 = CreateSampleWorkspace()
anotherGroup = GroupWorkspaces(GlobExpression='wrkspc?')

# Check the result
print('It has {} entries'.format(anotherGroup.getNumberOfEntries()))
print('Its first  item is {}'.format(anotherGroup.getItem(0)))
print('Its second item is {}'.format(anotherGroup.getItem(1)))

Output ¶

Workspace's type is WorkspaceGroup: True
It has 2 entries
Its first  item is ws1
Its second item is ws2
It has 2 entries
Its first  item is wrkspc1
Its second item is wrkspc2
