Event browser for Xtc files

This page summarizes initial attempts at an event browser or simple plotting tool for Xtc files that should be easy to use. It is written in python, relying on PyQt4 for graphical user interface. The data processing is done via the pyana framework and visualization provided by matplotlib.

Xtc file reader: xtcsummary.py

Loglog plot of one array vs. another

Code Block
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

a1 = plt.subplot(221)
plt.loglog(channels[:,0],channels[:,1], 'o' )
plt.xlabel('CH0')
plt.ylabel('CH1')
a2 = plt.subplot(222)
plt.loglog(channels[:,2],channels[:,3], 'o' )
plt.xlabel('CH2')
plt.ylabel('CH3')

channels is a 4xN array of floats, where N is the number of events. Each column corresponds to one out of four Ipimb channels.

Note that the arrays are indexed with 1,2,3,4 in MatLab and 0,1,2,3 in MatPlotLib/NumPy/Python.

array of limits from graphical input

array of limits from graphical input

 

Code Block
axes(a1)
hold on
lims(1:2,:) = ginput(2);

axes(a2)
hold on
lims(3:4,:) = ginput(2);
Code Block
plt.axes(a1)
plt.hold(True)
limslista = plt.ginput(2)

plt.axes(a2)
plt.hold(True)

limslistb = plt.ginput(2)
limsa = np.array(limslista)
limsb = np.array(limslistb)

lims = np.hstack( [limsa, limsb] )

In MatLab, lims is an expandable array that holds limits as set by input from mouse click on the plot (ginput).
NumPy arrays cannot be expanded, so I've chosen to append to a python list first, then fill a NumPy array for the usage to look the same.

The exact usage of the lims array depends on where you place each limit. I think perhaps I've done it differently from the MatLab version.
