.TH mca2edf 1 "March 2012" "ESRF" "PyMca X-Ray Fluorescence Toolkit"
.SH NAME
mca2edf - Convert SPEC file format files to EDF format
.SH SYNOPSIS
mca2edf [OPTIONS] [FILES]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.P
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).
.SH EXAMPLES
.B mca2edf
Open a dialog to select input files, output directory and the
number of spectra on each horizontal row.
.B 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
.B 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.
