14
16 Start the graphical user interface of the PyMca X-Ray Fluorescence
17 Toolkit region-of-interest imaging tool.
18
19 This tool is best suited for handling datasets that can be represented
20 by three-dimensional arrays. Typical cases are stacks of images (first
21 dimension is image number) or 2D maps of 1D spectra (last dimension is
22 spectrum channel number).
23
24 It allows one to display maps of particular regions of the spectra or
25 spectra of a particular region of the map.
26
27 A system of plugins allows to extend the capabilities of this tool.
28 Plugins for multivariate analysis are already built in.

31 If FILE is given, it will be opened in the program provided its format
32 is supported.

39 Start the program with a file browser to select the input files.
40
41 pymcaroitool --binding=XX
42
43 Start the program using the selected Qt binding. It has to be one of
44 PyQt5 (default), PyQt6, PySide6 or PySide2.
45
46 pymcaroitool file_0001.edf
47
48 Tries to open the file named file_0001.edf and all indexed files of the
49 form file_????.edf where ???? is a number.
50
51 pymcaroitool --imagestack=1 file_0001.edf
52
53 Tries to open the file named file_0001.edf and all indexed files of the
54 form file_????.edf where ???? is a number as a set of images.
55
56 pymcaroitool uncompressed_tiff_file_0001.tif
57
58 Tries to open a series of uncompressed TIFF files as an image stack.
59
60 pymcaroitool --begin=100 --end=200 --filepattern=file_%05d.edf
61
62 Start the program loading the single indexed files from file_00100.edf
63 to file_00200.edf
64
65 pymcaroitool --begin=10,100 --end=20,200 --filepat‐
66 tern=row%d_col%04d.dat
67
68 Load the double indexed files from row10_col0100.dat,
69 row10_col0101.dat, ... to row20_col0199.dat, row20_col0200.dat
70
71 pymcaroitool --logging=XX
72
73 Set the logging level. Allowed values are, in increasing order of ver‐
74 bosity: critical, error, warning (default), info, debug. Alterna‐
75 tively, you can specify a value in range 0 (critical) to 4 (debug).
76

78
79
81 If files f_000.xxx and f_001.xxx are present in the same directory, and
82 only one of them is selected, the program will always try to load both
83 of them unless a cumbersome way using a file pattern is used.
