Detailed Description

Provides users with possibility to read and write IntensityData from/to files in different format.

Type of the file will be deduced from file name. *.txt - ASCII file with 2D array [nrow][ncol], layout as in numpy. *.int - BornAgain internal ASCII format. *.tif - 32-bits tiff file. If file name ends with "*.gz" or "*.bz2" the file will be zipped on the fly using appropriate algorithm.

Usage:

# reading from ASCII file or g-zipped ASCII file
histogram = IntensityDataIOFactory.readIntensityData("filename.txt")
histogram = IntensityDataIOFactory.readIntensityData("filename.txt.gz")
 
# writing to 32-bits tiff file or b-zipped tiff file
IntensityDataIOFactory.writeIntensityData(histogram, "filename.tif")
IntensityDataIOFactory.writeIntensityData(histogram, "filename.tif.bz2")
