Azimuthal integration using the graphical user interface

Look at your integrated patterns

PyFAI can perform 1D or 2D integration. To view 1D patterns, I will use grace Let’s look at the integrated patterns obtained during calibration.

As you can see, only the 10 rings used for calibration are well defined.

This file is a text file containing as header all metadata needed to determine the geometry.

2D integrated pattern (aka cake images) are EDF images. Try fabio_viewer to see them.

Once again check the header of the file and the associated metadata.

Integrate a bunch of images

We will work with the 20 images used for the calibration.

Start pyFAI-intgrate

Either select files to process using the file-dialog or provide them on the command line.

Set the geometry

Simply load the PONI file and check the populated fields.

Azimuthal integration options

Check the dark/flat/ … options Use the check-box to activate the option.

Do NOT forget to specify the number of radial bins !

Select the device for processing

Unless the processing will be done on the CPU using OpenMP.

Press OK to start the processing.

The generation of the Look-Up table takes a few seconds then all files get processed quickly

Run it again to perform caking

Same a previously … but provide a number of azimuthal bins !

Visualize the integrated patterns

Once again I used grace and fabio_viewer to display the result.

That’s all.
