Created page with "== Wish == To write a conversion script that can make a conversion script == Call to the function == When we make a dispersion analysis, we write xmgrace files.<br> So we wan..."

New page

== Wish ==
To write a conversion script that can make a conversion script

== Call to the function ==
When we make a dispersion analysis, we write xmgrace files.<br>
So we want include the writing in this analysis

=== import the function and call it ===
In specific_analyses/relax_disp/disp_data.py we import the coming new writing function

We change
<source lang="python">
from lib.software.grace import write_xy_data, write_xy_header
</source>
to
<source lang="python">
from lib.software.grace import write_xy_data, write_xy_header, write_grace2images
</source>

Then we add doc string to: def plot_disp_curves(dir=None, force=None):
<source lang="python">
"""Custom 2D Grace plotting function for the dispersion curves.

One file will be created per spin system.
</source>
to
<source lang="python">
"""Custom 2D Grace plotting function for the dispersion curves.

One file will be created per spin system.

A python "grace to PNG/EPS/SVG..." conversion script is created at the end
</source>

Then we add to end of file. We open the file, call your writing script and close the file.
<source lang="python">
# Write a python "grace to PNG/EPS/SVG..." conversion script.
# Open the file for writing.
file_name = "grace2images.py"
file = open_write_file(file_name, dir, force)

# Write the file.
write_grace2images(file=file)

# Close the file.
file.close()
</source>

=== make the writing function ===
In lib/software/grace.py we write the new function

<source lang="python">
def write_grace2images(file=None):
"""Write a python "grace to PNG/EPS/SVG..." conversion script..

The makes a conversion script to image types as PNG/EPS/SVG. The conversion is looping over a directory list of *.agr files, and making function calls to xmgrace. Successfull conversion of images depends on the compilation of xmgrace. The input is a list of image types which is wanted, f.ex: PNG EPS SVG. PNG is default.

=== Test the function ===
Then we make a small script to call the function outside relax, to see if we get the wanted output.<br>
We first append to system path, so we can import the modules in relax, and then change to a directory where
we have stored some results.

<source lang="python">
import sys,os
sys.path.append("C:\\WinPython27\\relax_disp")
os.chdir("C:\\WinPython27\\relax_results")

import lib.software.grace
reload(lib.software.grace)

file_name = "grace2images.py"
file = open(file_name,"w")
# Write the file.
lib.software.grace.write_grace2images(file=file)
file.close()
