XRDBlock

XRDBlock(item_id: str | None = None, collection_id: str | None = None, init_data: dict | None = None, unique_id: str | None = None)

Bases: DataBlock

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
item_id str | None

The item to which the block is attached, or

None
collection_id str | None

The collection to which the block is attached.

None
init_data dict | None

A dictionary of data to initialise the block with.

None
unique_id str | None

A unique id for the block, used in the DOM and database.

None

Attributes:

Name Type Description
accepted_file_extensions

A list of file extensions that the block will attempt to read.

block_db_model
block_id
blocktype

A short (unique) string key specifying the type of block.

data
defaults

Any default values that should be set if they are not

description

A longer description outlining the purpose and capability

name

The human-readable block name specifying which technique

plot_functions

A list of methods that will generate plots for this block.

version str

The implementation version of this particular block.

accepted_file_extensions

accepted_file_extensions = ('.xrdml', '.xy', '.dat', '.xye', '.rasx', '.cif')

A list of file extensions that the block will attempt to read.

block_db_model

block_db_model = DataBlockResponse

block_id

block_id = unique_id or generate_random_id()

blocktype

blocktype = 'xrd'

A short (unique) string key specifying the type of block.

data

data = {'item_id': item_id, 'collection_id': collection_id, 'blocktype': blocktype, 'block_id': block_id, None: defaults}

defaults

defaults = {'wavelength': 1.5406}

Any default values that should be set if they are not supplied during block init.

description

description = 'Visualize XRD patterns and perform simple baseline corrections.'

A longer description outlining the purpose and capability of the block.

name

name = 'Powder XRD'

The human-readable block name specifying which technique or file format it pertains to.

plot_functions

plot_functions

A list of methods that will generate plots for this block.

version

version: str = __version__

The implementation version of this particular block.

event_names

event_names() -> set[str]

Return a list of event names supported by this block.

events_by_name

events_by_name() -> dict[str, Callable]

Returns a dict of registered events for this block.

from_web

from_web(data: dict)

Initialise the block state from data passed via web request with a given item, collection and block ID.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
data dict

The block data to initialiaze the block with.

required

generate_xrd_plot

generate_xrd_plot(filenames: list[str | Path] | None = None) -> None

Generate a Bokeh plot potentially containing multiple XRD patterns.

This function will first check whether a file_id is set in the block data. If not, it will interpret this as the "all compatible files" option, and will look into the item data to find all attached files, and attempt to read them as XRD patterns.

Otherwise, the file_id will be used to load a single file.

load_pattern

load_pattern(location: str | Path, wavelength: float | None = None) -> tuple[DataFrame, list[str], dict]

Load the XRD pattern at the given file location, returning a DataFrame with the pattern data, a list of y-axis options for plotting and a dictionary of peak metadata, if present.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
location str | Path

The file location of the XRD pattern.

required
wavelength float | None

The wavelength of the X-ray source. Defaults to CuKa.

None

null_event

null_event(**kwargs)

A null debug event that does nothing but logs its kwargs and overwrites the data dict with the args.

process_events

process_events(events: list[dict] | dict)

Handle any supported events passed to the block.

set_wavelength

set_wavelength(wavelength: float | str | None)

to_db

to_db() -> dict

returns a dictionary with the data for this block, ready to be input into mongodb

to_web

to_web() -> dict[str, Any]

Returns a JSON serializable dictionary to render the data block on the web.

update_from_web

update_from_web(data: dict)

Update the block with validated data received from a web request. Will strip any fields that are "computed" or otherwise not controllable by the user.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
data dict

A dictionary of data to update the block with.

required
