../_images/SavePlot1D-v1_dlg.png

SavePlot1D dialog.

Properties

Name Direction Type Default Description
InputWorkspace Input Workspace Mandatory Workspace to plot
OutputFilename Input string   Name of the image file to savefile. Allowed extensions: [‘.png’]
OutputType Input string image Method for rendering plot. Allowed values: [‘image’]
XLabel Input string   Label on the X axis. If empty, it will be taken from workspace
YLabel Input string   Label on the Y axis. If empty, it will be taken from workspace
SpectraList Input int list   Which spectra to plot
SpectraNames Input str list   Override with custom names for spectra
Result Output string    
PopCanvas Input boolean False If true, a Matplotlib canvas will be popped out , which contains the saved plot.

Description

Save 1D plots to a png file, as part of autoreduction. Multiple spectra in the same workspace will be represented by curves on the same plot. Groupped workspaces will be shown as subplots. If the workspace has more than one spectra, but less or equal to ten, labels will be shown.

Note

The figures contain lines between points, no error bars.

Note

Requires matplotlib version>= 1.2.0

Usage

#create some workspaces
CreateWorkspace(OutputWorkspace='w1',DataX='1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5',DataY='1,4,5,3,2,2,3,1',DataE='1,2,2,1,1,1,1,1',NSpec='2',UnitX='DeltaE')
CreateWorkspace(OutputWorkspace='w2',DataX='1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5',DataY='4,2,5,3,3,1,3,1', DataE='1,2,2,1,1,1,1,1',NSpec='2',UnitX='Momentum',VerticalAxisUnit='Wavelength',VerticalAxisValues='2,3',YUnitLabel='Something')
wGroup=GroupWorkspaces("w1,w2")

#write to a file
try:
    import mantid
    filename=mantid.config.getString("defaultsave.directory")+"SavePlot1D.png"
    SavePlot1D(InputWorkspace=wGroup,OutputFilename=filename)
except:
    pass

Output:

The file should look like

SavePlot1D.png

Usage in autoreduction

# create some workspaces
CreateWorkspace(OutputWorkspace='w1',DataX='1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5',DataY='1,4,5,3,2,2,3,1',DataE='1,2,2,1,1,1,1,1',NSpec='2',UnitX='DeltaE')
# get the div html/javascript for the plot
div = SavePlot1D(InputWorkspace='w1', OutputType='plotly')
from postprocessing.publish_plot import publish_plot
request = publish_plot('TESTINSTRUMENT', 12345, files={'file':div})
print("post returned {}".format(request.status_code))

To see what the result looks like on your local system, add the Filename argument (.html extension) and change to OutputType='plotly-full'.
