mca2edf [OPTIONS] [FILES]

X-ray maps were stored at the European Synchrotron Radiation  Facility as a set of images in ESRF Data Format (EDF). The  image rows being associated to points of a horizontal sample  scan and the image columns to the spectrum channels.

This tool allows one to convert a set of files wrapped by the  PyMca Toolkit as SPEC file format, and therefore without sample  position information, to European Synchrotron Radiation  Facility data format (EDF).

Its usefulness is nowdays somehow limited because recent PyMca  developements allow to reshape nspectra x nchannels datasets in  the tools making use of the shape information (pymcaroitool,  pymcapostbatch).

mca2edf
   Open a dialog to select input files, output directory and the
   number of spectra on each horizontal row.
    mca2edf --outdir=/tmp --mcastep=2 *.mca
   Convert all the .mca files in current directory to a set of EDF
   files containing two spectra. The output is placed in /tmp

mca2edf --outdir=/tmp --mcastep=2 --listfile=input_file
   Same as before but applied to all the files listed in input_file.
   Each line of input_file must contain a valid file name.
