Properties

Name	Direction	Type	Default	Description
InputWorkspace	Input	MatrixWorkspace	Mandatory

Factor	Input	number	1	The value by which to scale the input workspace
Operation	Input	string	Multiply	Whether to multiply by, or add factor. Allowed values: [‘Multiply’, ‘Add’]

Description

Uses the binary operation algorithms Multiply v1 or Plus v1 to scale the input workspace by the amount requested. This algorithm is provided as a simple, but less powerful, alternative to the python workspace algebra functionality.

Usage

Example: Adding an offset

ws = CreateSampleWorkspace(BankPixelWidth=1)
print("Every 10th bin value of " + ws.name())
print(ws.readY(0)[0:100:10])

# Add 2 using scale
wsOffset = Scale(ws,2,"Add")
print("Every 10th bin value of " + wsOffset.name())
print(wsOffset.readY(0)[0:100:10])

# Add 2 using the workspace operator overloads
wsOffset2 = ws + 2
print("Every 10th bin value of " + wsOffset2.name())
print(wsOffset2.readY(0)[0:100:10])

Output:

Every 10th bin value of ws
[  0.3   0.3   0.3   0.3   0.3  10.3   0.3   0.3   0.3   0.3]
Every 10th bin value of wsOffset
[  2.3   2.3   2.3   2.3   2.3  12.3   2.3   2.3   2.3   2.3]
Every 10th bin value of wsOffset2
[  2.3   2.3   2.3   2.3   2.3  12.3   2.3   2.3   2.3   2.3]

Example: Multiplying by a value

ws = CreateSampleWorkspace(BankPixelWidth=1)
print("Every 10th bin value of " + ws.name())
print(ws.readY(0)[0:100:10])

# Multiply by 10 using scale
wsScaled = Scale(ws,10,"Multiply")
print("Every 10th bin value of " + wsScaled.name())
print(wsScaled.readY(0)[0:100:10])

# Multiply by 10 using the workspace operator overloads
wsScaled2 = ws * 10
print("Every 10th bin value of " + wsScaled2.name())
print(wsScaled2.readY(0)[0:100:10])

Output:

Every 10th bin value of ws
[  0.3   0.3   0.3   0.3   0.3  10.3   0.3   0.3   0.3   0.3]
Every 10th bin value of wsScaled
[   3.    3.    3.    3.    3.  103.    3.    3.    3.    3.]
Every 10th bin value of wsScaled2
[   3.    3.    3.    3.    3.  103.    3.    3.    3.    3.]
