MaskWorkspaceToCalFile v1¶

../_images/MaskWorkspaceToCalFile-v1_dlg.png — MaskWorkspaceToCalFile dialog.¶

Summary ¶

Saves the masking information in a workspace to a Cal File.

See Also ¶

ReadGroupsFromFile, CreateDummyCalFile, CreateCalFileByNames, AlignDetectors, DiffractionFocussing, LoadCalFile, SaveCalFile, MergeCalFiles

Properties ¶

Name	Direction	Type	Default	Description
InputWorkspace	Input	MatrixWorkspace	Mandatory	The workspace containing the Masking to extract.
OutputFile	Input	string	Mandatory	The file for the results. Allowed values: [‘cal’]
Invert	Input	boolean	False	If True, masking is inverted in the input workspace. Default: False

Description ¶

This algorithms writes a cal file with the selection column set to the masking status of the workspaces provided. The offsets and grouping details of the cal file are not completed, so you would normally use MergeCalFiles afterwards to import these values from another file.

Usage ¶

import os

# Create a workspace containing some data.
ws = CreateSampleWorkspace()

# Mask two detectors by specifying detector IDs 101 and 103
MaskDetectors(ws,DetectorList=[101,103])

# Create a file path in the user home directory
calFilePath = os.path.expanduser('~/MantidUsageExample_CalFile.cal')

# Save the masking in a cal file.
MaskWorkspaceToCalFile( ws, calFilePath );

# Read the saved file back
f = open( calFilePath, 'r' )
calFile = f.read().split('\n')
f.close()

# Print out first 10 lines of the file
for line in calFile[:10]:
  print(line)
