4.3.2.25. NXtomoproc

Status:

application definition, extends NXobject

Description:

This is an application definition for the final result of a tomography experiment: a 3D construction of some volume of physical properties.

Symbols:

These symbols will be used below to coordinate datasets with the same shape.

nX: Number of voxels in X direction

nY: Number of voxels in Y direction

nZ: Number of voxels in Z direction

data: (required) NXdata

data: (required) NX_INT (Rank: 3, Dimensions: [nX, nX, nZ])

This is the reconstructed volume. This can be different things. Please indicate in the unit attribute what physical quantity this really is.

x: (required) NX_FLOAT (Rank: 1, Dimensions: [nX]) {units=NX_ANY}

This is an array holding the values to use for the x-axis of data. The units must be appropriate for the measurement.

y: (required) NX_FLOAT (Rank: 1, Dimensions: [nY]) {units=NX_ANY}

This is an array holding the values to use for the y-axis of data. The units must be appropriate for the measurement.

z: (required) NX_FLOAT (Rank: 1, Dimensions: [nZ]) {units=NX_ANY}

This is an array holding the values to use for the z-axis of data. The units must be appropriate for the measurement.
