Name

sxheader - Perform operations on headers of hdf or bdb file

Usage

Usage in command lines:

sxheader.py stack.hdf --params="parm1 parm2 ..." --zero --one --randomize --import=filename --export=filename --print --backup --restore --delete

Usage in python programming:

header(stack, params, zero, one, randomize, fimport, fexport, fprint, backup, restore, delete)

Input

stack

image stack file

Options

params

list of parameters to perform operations on.

Notice: Major changes have been made recently!

If operating on 2D alignment parameters, use "xform.align2d", which automatically includes the parameters "alpha", "sx", "sy", "mirror" and "scale".

If operating on projection parameters, use "xform.proj", which automatically includes the parameters "phi", "theta", "psi", "s2x" and "s2y".

If operating on 3D alignment parameters, use "xform.align3d", which automatically includes the parameters "phi", "theta", "psi", "s3x", "s3y", "s3z", "mirror" and "scale".

See description of parameters http://macro-em.org/sparxwiki/I_O

zero

set all parameters to zero.

one

set all parameters to one (not applicable to xform.align2d, xform.proj or xform.align3d, since it doesn't make sense).

randomize

set all parameters to randomized value (only works for xform.align2d, xform.proj and xform.align3d, there is little need to randomize other parameters, and it is also difficult to guess the random range beforehand.)

import

import parameters from file.

export

export parameters to file.

print

whether print parameters to screen.

backup

backup all parameters

restore

restore all parameters

delete

delete all parameters

Description

This program now works for both hdf and bdb files.
