Summary ¶

Evaluate a function on a workspace.

Properties ¶

Name	Direction	Type	Default	Description
Function	InOut	Function	Mandatory	Parameters defining the fitting function and its initial values
InputWorkspace	Input	Workspace	Mandatory	Name of the input Workspace
IgnoreInvalidData	Input	boolean	False	Flag to ignore infinities, NaNs and data with zero errors.
DomainType	Input	string	Simple	The type of function domain to use: Simple, Sequential, or Parallel. Allowed values: [‘Simple’, ‘Sequential’, ‘Parallel’]
EvaluationType	Input	string	CentrePoint	The way the function is evaluated on histogram data sets. If value is “CentrePoint” then function is evaluated at centre of each bin. If it is “Histogram” then function is integrated within the bin and the integrals returned. Allowed values: [‘CentrePoint’, ‘Histogram’]
StepSizeMethod	Input	string	Default	The way the step size is calculated for numerical derivatives. See the section about step sizes in the Fit algorithm documentation to understand the difference between “Default” and “Sqrt epsilon”. Allowed values: [‘Default’, ‘Sqrt epsilon’]
PeakRadius	Input	number	0	A value of the peak radius the peak functions should use. A peak radius defines an interval on the x axis around the centre of the peak where its values are calculated. Values outside the interval are not calculated and assumed zeros.Numerically the radius is a whole number of peak widths (FWHM) that fit into the interval on each side from the centre. The default value of 0 means the whole x axis.
OutputWorkspace	Output	Workspace	Mandatory	An output workspace.

Description ¶

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

Usage ¶

Example - 1D function and a matrix workspace.

# Load a workspace
ws = Load('MUSR00015189')
# Evaluate a function
EvaluateFunction('name=ExpDecay,Height=56', 'ws_1', StartX=0, EndX=30, OutputWorkspace='out')

Example - 2D function and a MD workspace.

# Create an empty 2D workspace (100 x 100)
nx = 100
ny = 100
ws = CreateMDHistoWorkspace(Dimensionality=2, Extents=[-10,10,-10,10], Names="x,y", Units="U,V",
    NumberOfBins='%s,%s' % (nx,ny),
    SignalInput=[0] * nx * ny, ErrorInput=[0] * nx * ny)
# Evaluate a function
EvaluateFunction('name=UserFunctionMD,Formula=sin(x)*sin(y)','ws', OutputWorkspace='out')
