Horace is a suite of Matlab programs for the visualisation and analysis of large datasets from time-of-flight neutron inelastic scattering spectrometers.
The details on what Horace is and how to use it can be found on its wiki pages at http://horace.isis.rl.ac.uk/Main_Page
This a Python interface to Horace using a compiled Matlab library which does not require a Matlab license.
- The interface is extremely clunky
- Graphics don't work
- Documenation is minimal
Clone this repository (including the Horace and Herbert submodules).
Install the Matlab Compiler Runtime.
Change to the pyHorace folder or add it to your PYTHONPATH.
Run something like:
import horace
from matlab import double as md
m = horace.initialize()
m.call('pyhorace_init')
proj = m.call('projaxes', [md([-0.5, 1, 0]), md([0, 0, 1]), 'type', 'rrr'])
w1 = m.call('cut_sqw', ['/home/vqq25957/sqw_files/spinw/ei30_10K.sqw', proj, md([0.1, 0.02, 0.5]), md([1.5, 2.5]), md([0.4, 0.5]), md([3, 0.5, 20])])
w2 = m.call2('cut_sqw', w1, [md([0.1, 0.5]), md([3, 0.5, 20])])If you have Matlab with a the mcc compiler toolbox installed, you can run the compile_python.m script to recompile the library.
