Accessing presented data

Here follows a short overview on how to access some of the more useful data items represented in the different plots. Please refer to the graphical overview to understand which plot is being talked about.

Note

Notice that accessing data in this way will not allow you to manipulate the currently displayed data, i.e. you get a copy of whatever is currently displayed and changes to this copy will not be reflected visually. Only changes to the core data object (which is accessible through pit.get_data() and settable through pit.set_data(...)) and usage of respective builtin functions (and likely functions from plugins) will be visible.

Main and Cut Plot

The currently displayed data of the main plot and cut plot can be accessed respectively by:

pit.get_main_data()
pit.get_cut_data()

or alternatively:

mw.main_plot.image_data
mw.cut_plot.image_data

Profiles

The horizontal and vertical profiles as well as the integrated intensity profile can be accessed by:

pit.get_hprofile()
pit.get_vprofile()
pit.get_iprofile()
