Warning

EvaluateMDFunction is deprecated. Use EvaluateFunction instead.

Summary ¶

Evaluates an MD function on a MD histo workspace.

Properties ¶

Name	Direction	Type	Default	Description
InputWorkspace	Input	IMDHistoWorkspace	Mandatory	An input workspace that provides dimensions for the output.
Function	InOut	Function	Mandatory	Parameters defining the fitting function and its initial values
OutputWorkspace	Output	IMDHistoWorkspace	Mandatory	An output workspace.

Description ¶

Note: this algorithm is deprecated, use EvaluateFunction instead.

The algorithm will use the axes of the input workspace to evaluate a functions on them and store the result in the output workspace.

This is a plot of the evaluated function from the usage example below.

Usage ¶

# Create an empty 3D histo workspace.
n = 50 * 50 * 50
ws=CreateMDHistoWorkspace(Dimensionality=3, Extents='-1,1,-1,1, -1,1',\
    SignalInput = [0.0] * n, ErrorInput = [1.0] * n,\
    NumberOfBins='50,50,50',Names='Dim1,Dim2,Dim3',Units='MomentumTransfer,MomentumTransfer,MomentumTransfer')

# Define a function
function = 'name=UserFunctionMD,Formula=1.0/(1.0 + 100*(0.5 - x^2 - y^2 -z^2)^2)'

# Evaluate the function on the created workspace
out = EvaluateMDFunction(ws,function)

# Check the result workspace
print out.getNumDims()
print out.getXDimension().getName()
print out.getYDimension().getName()
print out.getZDimension().getName()
