Import / Export Tool Buttons (for raw file format)

Import - Export Tool Buttons

Use the 'initialize' button for:

Reading a raw image or data cube, IF there is no .rpl file with the same name, or the .rpl file you want to use has a different name.
Normally, the .rpl file is written and read automatically by Lispix.

The .rpl file can also be written using 'Initialize/Write to RPL file' - which saves the parameter as they have been set. It does not save the parameters of the front cube window unless you have initialized them with: 'Initialize/Set using front image', or have just imported that cube.

The I/O button can be used directly - without having to initialize the parameters. They will be set from the .rpl file or from the cube window.

Import from file Reads cube or image from binary file. File / Open now does this, using the rpl file.
Export to file Writes cube or image to raw binary file.
- The image file has no header informatio
- The header information is stored in the .rpl file with the same name as the image file.
- This is the standard Lispix format for saving data cubes
Import from ASCII file Reads cube or image from an ASCII file that has only the raw pixel data. Works much the same as 'Import from file', but of course much more slowly.

Export as ASCII spectra file Note - this is out of date and may be removed later. Save spectra using the options at the bottom of the Plots Menu - in the Lispix Menu Bar.
- Appends a header file to beginning of all spectra files.
- One number per line in header and files.
- File extension will be the same as the header file.(use 'All files' to see types other than *.txt.)
Export As ASCII Spreadsheet
- Text file, tab delimited for direct reading by Excel*
- Orientation in the spreadsheet is the same as the image display. (0,0) is upper left.
