Properties

Name	Direction	Type	Default	Description
OutputWorkspace	Output	MatrixWorkspace	Mandatory	Name to use for the output workspace
DataValue	Input	number	0	The value to place in the workspace
ErrorValue	Input	number	0	The error value to place in the workspace (default 0.0)

Description

Creates a 2D workspace that contains a single value and an optional error value. This was traditionally used for doing binary operations between a workspace and a single value. However, now that the Python access allows the standard binary operations with workspaces & single numbers, the requirement for this algorithm is almost gone and is occasionally used internally.

Usage

Workspace with single y value and zero error:

five = CreateSingleValuedWorkspace(5)

print("Number of histograms: {}".format(five.getNumberHistograms()))
print("Length of y array: {}".format(len(five.readY(0))))
print("Length of e array: {}".format(len(five.readE(0))))
print("Length of x array: {}".format(len(five.readX(0))))

print("y value: {}".format(five.readY(0)))
print("e value: {}".format(five.readE(0)))

Output:

Number of histograms: 1
Length of y array: 1
Length of e array: 1
Length of x array: 1
y value: [ 5.]
e value: [ 0.]

Workspace with single y and e value:

five = CreateSingleValuedWorkspace(5, 0.1)

print("Number of histograms: {}".format(five.getNumberHistograms()))
print("Length of y array: {}".format(len(five.readY(0))))
print("Length of e array: {}".format(len(five.readE(0))))
print("Length of x array: {}".format(len(five.readX(0))))

print("y value: {}".format(five.readY(0)))
print("e value: {}".format(five.readE(0)))

Output:

Number of histograms: 1
Length of y array: 1
Length of e array: 1
Length of x array: 1
y value: [ 5.]
e value: [ 0.1]
