This algorithm constructs a MatrixWorkspace when passed a vector for each of the X, Y, and E data values.
Name | Direction | Type | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
OutputWorkspace | Output | MatrixWorkspace | Mandatory | Name to be given to the created workspace. |
DataX | Input | dbl list | Mandatory | X-axis data values for workspace. |
DataY | Input | dbl list | Mandatory | Y-axis data values for workspace (measures). |
DataE | Input | dbl list | Error values for workspace. Optional. | |
NSpec | Input | number | 1 | Number of spectra to divide data into. |
UnitX | Input | string | The unit to assign to the XAxis | |
VerticalAxisUnit | Input | string | SpectraNumber | The unit to assign to the second Axis (leave blank for default Spectra number). Allowed values: [‘Degrees’, ‘DeltaE’, ‘DeltaE_inWavenumber’, ‘dSpacing’, ‘Empty’, ‘Energy’, ‘Energy_inWavenumber’, ‘Label’, ‘Momentum’, ‘MomentumTransfer’, ‘QSquared’, ‘SpinEchoLength’, ‘SpinEchoTime’, ‘Time’, ‘TOF’, ‘Wavelength’, ‘SpectraNumber’, ‘Text’] |
VerticalAxisValues | Input | str list | Values for the VerticalAxis. | |
Distribution | Input | boolean | False | Whether OutputWorkspace should be marked as a distribution. |
YUnitLabel | Input | string | Label for Y Axis | |
WorkspaceTitle | Input | string | Title for Workspace | |
ParentWorkspace | Input | MatrixWorkspace | Name of a parent workspace. |
This algorithm constructs a MatrixWorkspace when passed a vector for each of the X, Y, and E data values. The unit for the X Axis can optionally be specified as any of the units in the Mantid Unit Factory (see the list of units currently available). Multiple spectra may be created by supplying the NSpec Property (integer, default 1). When this is provided the vectors are split into equal-sized spectra (all X, Y, E values must still be in a single vector for input).
When you use the input property ParentWorkspace, the new workspace is created with the same instrument (including its parameters), sample and run information, and comment field as the parent. The Y units and title are also copied from the parent workspace unless they are provided in the input properties passed to the algorithm.
dataX = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16]
dataY = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12]
dataE = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12]
# The workspace will be named "dataWS"
dataWS = CreateWorkspace(DataX=dataX, DataY=dataY, DataE=dataE, NSpec=4,UnitX="Wavelength")
