Integration tool: diff_map¶
Purpose¶
GUI interface for reduction of diffraction tomography experiments
Diffraction mapping is an imaging experiment where 2D diffraction patterns are recorded while performing a 2D scan along two axes, one slower and the other fastest.
Diff_map provides a Graphical User Interface (based on top of PyQt, pyFAI and h5py) which allows the reduction of this 4D dataset into a 3D dataset containing the two dimension of movement and the many diffraction angles (the output can be q-space for PDF-CT).
On the left-hand side, the user can select a bunch of files to be processed. For now, any image format supported by FabIO is possible, including multi-frame images, but not ye NeXus files (work ongoing).
On the right-hand side, the motor range can be specified togeather with their names. The diffraction parameters can be setup in a similar way to pyFAI-integrate. The output name can also be specified.
The processing is launched using the Run button which opens a matplotlib figure to display the plot of the diffraction pattern and of the map image under construction. During this processing, one can select a scatering range to highlight the regions of interest.
Further analysis can be performed on the resulting dataset using the PyMca roitool where the 1d dataset has to be selected as last dimension. The result file aims at NeXus compliance.
This tool can be used for tomography experiments if one considers the slow scan direction as the rotation.
The user interface can be disabled to allow scripting interface and providing a JSON configuration file (or all the options).
