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

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

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

30 Open a dialog to select input files, output directory and the
31 number of spectra on each horizontal row.

34 Convert all the .mca files in current directory to a set of EDF
35 files containing two spectra. The output is placed in /tmp
36
37 mca2edf --outdir=/tmp --mcastep=2 --listfile=input_file
38 Same as before but applied to all the files listed in input_file.
39 Each line of input_file must contain a valid file name.
