Table of Contents
| Name | Direction | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| InputWorkspace | Input | Workspace | Mandatory | An input workspace. |
| Filename | Input | string | The name of the file into which the workspace history will be generated. Allowed extensions: [‘.ipynb’] | |
| NotebookText | Output | string | Saves the history of the workspace to a variable. | |
| UnrollAll | Input | boolean | False | Unroll all algorithms to show just their child algorithms. |
| StartTimestamp | Input | string | The filter start time in the format YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss | |
| EndTimestamp | Input | string | The filter end time in the format YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss | |
| SpecifyAlgorithmVersions | Input | string | Specify Old | When to specify which algorithm version was used by Mantid. Allowed values: [‘Specify Old’, ‘Specify All’, ‘Specify None’] |
Retrieves the algorithm history of the workspace and saves it to an IPython notebook file or Python variable.
A time range can be specified which will restrict the algorithms in the notebook to those which were executed between the given times, if no end time was specified then algorithms from the start time up to the current time will be included in the generated notebook.
Start and end times are given in ISO8601 format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss, for example 3:25 PM on July the 4th 2014 would be 2014-07-04 15:25:00.
Example - generate an IPython notebook for a workspace:
#create a workspace and run some operations on it
ws = CreateSampleWorkspace()
ws = CropWorkspace(ws, XMin=7828.162291, XMax=11980.906921)
ws = Power(ws, Exponent=1.5)
ws = RenameWorkspace(ws, OutputWorkspace="MyTestWorkspace")
notebook_text = GenerateIPythonNotebook(ws)
print notebook_text.strip()
Example - generate a python notebook giving a range of start times:
import time
# Do some operations on the workspace with a pause between them
ws = CreateSampleWorkspace()
ws = CropWorkspace(ws, XMin=7828.162291, XMax=11980.906921)
time.sleep(2)
ws = Power(ws, Exponent=1.5)
ws = RenameWorkspace(ws, OutputWorkspace="MyTestWorkspace")
# Get the execution time of the last algorithm and subtract 1 second
history = mtd['MyTestWorkspace'].getHistory()
last = history.getAlgorithmHistory(history.size() - 1)
from_time = last.executionDate() - int(1e9)
# Generate a notebook with a given start time
notebook_text = GenerateIPythonNotebook(ws, StartTimestamp=str(from_time))
print notebook_text.strip()
Example - generate a python notebook and save it to file:
import os
#create a workspace and run some operations on it
ws = CreateSampleWorkspace()
ws = CropWorkspace(ws, XMin=7828.162291, XMax=11980.906921)
ws = Power(ws, Exponent=1.5)
ws = RenameWorkspace(ws, OutputWorkspace="MyTestWorkspace")
path = os.path.join(os.path.expanduser("~"), 'mynotebook.ipynb')
GenerateIPythonNotebook(ws, Filename=path)
with open (path, 'r') as notebook:
print notebook.read().strip()
