profile: Profile tool for PlotWidget

This module provides tools to get profiles on plot data.

It provides:

• ScatterProfileToolBar: a QToolBar to handle profile on scatter data

The profile package is divided into several sub-modules.

manager module

This module provides a manager to compute and display profiles.

ProfileManager class

class ProfileManager(parent=None, plot=None, roiManager=None)

Bases: silx.gui.qt._qt.QObject

Base class for profile management tools

Parameters:

• plot – PlotWidget on which to operate.
• plot – RegionOfInterestManager on which to operate.

setSingleProfile(enable)

Enable or disable the single profile mode.

In single mode, the manager enforce a single ROI at the same time. A new one will remove the previous one.

If this mode is not enabled, many ROIs can be created, and many profile windows will be displayed.

isSingleProfile()

Returns true if the manager is in a single profile mode.

Return type:bool

createProfileAction(profileRoiClass, parent=None)

Create an action from a class of ProfileRoi

Parameters:

• profileRoiClass (core.ProfileRoiMixIn) – A class of a profile ROI
• parent (qt.QObject) – The parent of the created action.

Return type:

qt.QAction

createClearAction(parent)

Create an action to clean up the plot from the profile ROIs.

Parameters:parent (qt.QObject) – The parent of the created action. Return type:qt.QAction

createImageActions(parent)

Create actions designed for image items. This actions created new ROIs.

Parameters:parent (qt.QObject) – The parent of the created action. Return type:List[qt.QAction]

This ROIs was designed to use the input data without interpolation, like you could do with an image.

Parameters:parent (qt.QObject) – The parent of the created action. Return type:List[qt.QAction]

createImageStackActions(parent)

Create actions designed for stack image items. This actions created new ROIs.

This ROIs was designed to create both profile on the displayed image and profile on the full stack (2D result).

This function is called just after the profile window creation in order to initialize the window location.

Parameters:profileWindow (~ProfileWindow) – The profile window to initialize.

clearProfileWindow(profileWindow)

Called when a profile window is not anymore needed.

By default the window will be closed. But it can be inherited to change this behavior.

ProfileWindow class

class ProfileWindow(parent=None, backend=None)

Bases: PyQt5.QtWidgets.QMainWindow

Display a computed profile.

The content can be described using setRoiProfile() if the source of the profile is a profile ROI, and setProfile() for the data content.

sigClose

Emitted by closeEvent() (e.g. when the window is closed through the window manager’s close icon).

prepareWidget(roi)

Called before the show to prepare the window to use with a specific ROI.

createPlot1D(parent, backend)

Inherit this function to create your own plot to render 1D profiles. The default value is a Plot1D.

Parameters:

• parent – The parent of this widget or None.
• backend – The backend to use for the plot. See PlotWidget for the list of supported backend.

Return type:

PlotWidget

createPlot2D(parent, backend)

Inherit this function to create your own plot to render 2D profiles. The default value is a Plot2D.
