Some features that you might miss and could ease your life¶

  • widgets generating NXtomo (as h52nx, edf2nx, data listener) have new default output directory and handles 'keywords' on the string.

details can be find here

output formatting

  • There is now a dedicated widget to edit some parameters of an NXtomo (see part 6 of the training). The same exists for 'pure display'

NXtomo editor interface

  • volume viewer now display the reduced dark and flats (and not only raw darks and flats frames) -> can be useful for some debug and when playing with those to know which will be used)

data viewer reduced flats view

  • cast volume now returns the casted volume

volume casting output

  • CTF has been integrated. You can select it as a phase retrieval method (like Paganin). It also come with a dedicated section (ctf parameters) which are available only from the *advanced options

volume casting output

  • drag / drop starts to be 'generalized'. You can for example drag and drop an acquisition bliss hdf5 file, NXtomo file or a volume folder to the scan / volume list. If you see some interest to add this behavior at some point please let us know.

  • this is the same for path autocompletion. Since 1.0 it starts to be added (thanks to users to have spot it ;). But it might still miss at some places. If you see were it can be usfull please tell us.

note on integration of ewoks¶

ewoks is the 'meta workflow system' we try to push for at esrf.

Since 1.1 we integrate more thinks from ewoks and it came with one visible 'details': usually links are black at the orange canvas side. Now it can happen that they are green or red. This is the origin but please 'consider it' as 'pure noise'.

From the good side you should now be able to launch (some workflows) directly from the CLI, skipping any gui interaction This is still in beta phase. If you have any issue please let us know.

documentation¶

  • a page regarding 'real life python script' has been added here. Please let us know if you want to have more / your own use cases there.
