rebin(*InputWorkspace, Params, PreserveEvents=None, FullBinsOnly=None, IgnoreBinErrors=None, **Version=1)¶

Rebins data with new X bin boundaries. For EventWorkspaces, you can very quickly rebin in-place by keeping the same output name and PreserveEvents=true.

Property descriptions:

InputWorkspace(Input:req) MatrixWorkspace Workspace containing the input data

OutputWorkspace(Output:req) MatrixWorkspace The name to give the output workspace

Params(Input:req) dbl list A comma separated list of first bin boundary, width, last bin boundary. Optionally this can be followed by a comma and more widths and last boundary pairs. Optionally this can also be a single number, which is the bin width. In this case, the boundary of binning will be determined by minimum and maximum TOF values among all events, or previous binning boundary, in case of event Workspace, or non-event Workspace, respectively. Negative width values indicate logarithmic binning.

PreserveEvents(Input) boolean Keep the output workspace as an EventWorkspace, if the input has events. If the input and output EventWorkspace names are the same, only the X bins are set, which is very quick. If false, then the workspace gets converted to a Workspace2D histogram.
