Mask generation tool: pyFAI-drawmask

Purpose

Draw a mask, i.e. an image containing the list of pixels which are considered invalid (no scintillator, module gap, beam stop shadow, …).

This will open a window and let you draw on the first image (provided) with different tools (brush, rectangle selection…) When you are finished, click on the “Save and quit” button.

The mask image is saved into filename-mask.edf. Optionally the script will print the number of pixel masked and the intensity masked (as well on other files provided in input).

This user interface requires silx to be installed.
