ProjectMD reduces the dimensionality of a MHDistoWorkspace by summing it along a specified dimension. Example: you have a 3D MDHistoWorkspace with X,Y,TOF. You sum along Z (TOF) and the result is a 2D workspace X,Y which gives you a detector image.
Besides the obvious input and output workspaces you have to specify the dimension along which you wish to sum. The following code is used:
The summation range also has to be specified. This is in indices into the appropriate axis.
Example - Summing a couple of dimensions
def outputMDDimensions(ws):
num_dims = ws.getNumDims()
print "Name Bins Min Max"
for dim_index in range(num_dims):
dim = ws.getDimension(dim_index)
print "%s %i %.2f %.2f" % (dim.getName(),
dim.getNBins(), dim.getMinimum(), dim.getMaximum())
#create a test MD event workspace
mdew = CreateMDWorkspace(Dimensions=3, Extents=[-1,1,-5,5,-9,10],
Names='A, B, C', Units='U, U, U')
FakeMDEventData(mdew, PeakParams=[100000, 0, 0, 0, 1])
#convert to a MDHisto workspace suing BinMD
wsHisto = BinMD(mdew,AlignedDim0='A,-1,1,9',
AlignedDim1='B,-5,5,5',
AlignedDim2='C,-9,10,9')
print "The original workspace"
outputMDDimensions(wsHisto)
wsProjected1 = ProjectMD(wsHisto,ProjectDirection="Z")
print "\nAfter the workspace has been summed in the Z direction"
outputMDDimensions(wsProjected1)
wsProjected2 = ProjectMD(wsProjected1,ProjectDirection="X")
print "\nAfter the workspace has been also been summed in the X direction"
outputMDDimensions(wsProjected2)
The original workspace
Name Bins Min Max
A 9 -1.00 1.00
B 5 -5.00 5.00
C 9 -9.00 10.00
After the workspace has been summed in the Z direction
Name Bins Min Max
A 9 -1.00 1.00
B 5 -5.00 5.00
After the workspace has been also been summed in the X direction
Name Bins Min Max
B 5 -5.00 5.00
