MaskDetectorsInShape v1¶

Summary ¶

Masks detectors whose centres fall within the given 3D shape.

Properties ¶

Name	Direction	Type	Default	Description
Workspace	InOut	MatrixWorkspace	Mandatory	The input workspace
ShapeXML	Input	string	Mandatory	The XML definition of the user defined shape.
IncludeMonitors	Input	boolean	False	Whether to include monitors if they are contained in the shape (default false)

Description ¶

Masks detectors that are contained within a user defined 3 dimensional shape within the instrument.

The algorithm places the user defined geometric shape within the virtual instrument and masks any detector detectors that in contained within it. A detector is considered to be contained it its central location point is contained within the shape.

This page provides a description of the syntax of ShapeXML string.

ChildAlgorithms used ¶

MaskDetectorsInShape runs the following algorithms as child algorithms:

FindDetectorsInShape v1 - To determine the detectors that are contained in the user defined shape.
MaskDetectors v1 - To mask the detectors found.

Usage ¶

# Create a workspace
ws = CreateSampleWorkspace()

# Define an infinite cylinder with its axis parallel to the Z-axis
# and the radius of 0.04
shapeXML = \
"""
<infinite-cylinder id="A" >
    <centre x="0" y="0" z="0" />
    <axis x="0" y="0" z="1" />
    <radius val="0.04" />
</infinite-cylinder>
"""
# Mask all detectors inside this cylinder
MaskDetectorsInShape( ws, shapeXML )

#Check the result
masked_dets =  []
inside_dets = []
# Collect separately all masked detector IDs and IDs of detectors
# that are inside the cylinder defined by shapeXML
R2 = 0.04**2 # cylinder radius sqared
for i in range(ws.getNumberHistograms()):
  det = ws.getDetector(i)
  if det.isMasked():
    masked_dets.append( det.getID() )
  r = det.getPos()
  if r.X()**2 + r.Y()**2 <= R2:
    inside_dets.append( det.getID() )

# Print out the IDs
print(masked_dets)
print(inside_dets)

# Check that the two arrays are equal
print(masked_dets == inside_dets)
