isig#

inav#

property T#: The transpose of the signal, with signal and navigation spaces swapped. Enables calling transpose() with the default parameters as a property of a Signal.

add_gaussian_noise(std, random_state=None)#

Add Gaussian noise to the data.

The operation is performed in-place (i.e. the data of the signal is modified). This method requires the signal to have a float data type, otherwise it will raise a TypeError.

Parameters:

stdfloat: The standard deviation of the Gaussian noise.
random_stateNone, int or numpy.random.Generator, default None: Seed for the random generator.

Notes

This method uses numpy.random.normal() (or dask.array.random.normal() for lazy signals) to generate the noise.

add_marker(marker, plot_on_signal=True, plot_marker=True, permanent=False, plot_signal=True, render_figure=True)#

Add one or several markers to the signal or navigator plot and plot the signal, if not yet plotted (by default)

Parameters:

markermarkers object or iterable: The marker or iterable (list, tuple, …) of markers to add. See the Markers section in the User Guide if you want to add a large number of markers as an iterable, since this will be much faster. For signals with navigation dimensions, the markers can be made to change for different navigation indices. See the examples for info.
plot_on_signalbool, default True: If True, add the marker to the signal. If False, add the marker to the navigator
plot_markerbool, default True: If True, plot the marker.
permanentbool, default True: If False, the marker will only appear in the current plot. If True, the marker will be added to the metadata.Markers list, and be plotted with plot(plot_markers=True). If the signal is saved as a HyperSpy HDF5 file, the markers will be stored in the HDF5 signal and be restored when the file is loaded.

Examples

>>> im = hs.data.wave_image()
>>> m = hs.plot.markers.Rectangles(
...    offsets=[(1.0, 1.5)], widths=(0.5,), heights=(0.7,)
... )
>>> im.add_marker(m)

Add permanent marker:

>>> rng = np.random.default_rng(1)
>>> s = hs.signals.Signal2D(rng.random((100, 100)))
>>> marker = hs.plot.markers.Points(offsets=[(50, 60)])
>>> s.add_marker(marker, permanent=True, plot_marker=True)

Removing a permanent marker:

>>> rng = np.random.default_rng(1)
>>> s = hs.signals.Signal2D(rng.integers(10, size=(100, 100)))
>>> marker = hs.plot.markers.Points(offsets=[(10, 60)])
>>> marker.name = "point_marker"
>>> s.add_marker(marker, permanent=True)
>>> del s.metadata.Markers.point_marker

Adding many markers as a list:

>>> rng = np.random.default_rng(1)
>>> s = hs.signals.Signal2D(rng.integers(10, size=(100, 100)))
>>> marker_list = []
>>> for i in range(10):
...     marker = hs.plot.markers.Points(rng.random(2))
...     marker_list.append(marker)
>>> s.add_marker(marker_list, permanent=True)

add_poissonian_noise(keep_dtype=True, random_state=None)#

Add Poissonian noise to the data.

This method works in-place.

Parameters:

keep_dtypebool, default True: This parameter is deprecated and will be removed in HyperSpy 3.0. Currently, it does not have any effect. This method always keeps the original dtype of the signal.
random_stateNone, int or numpy.random.Generator, default None: Seed for the random generator.

Notes

This method uses numpy.random.poisson() (or dask.array.random.poisson() for lazy signals) to generate the Poissonian noise.

apply_apodization(window='hann', hann_order=None, tukey_alpha=0.5, inplace=False)#

Apply an apodization window to a Signal.

Parameters:

windowstr, optional

Select between {'hann' (default), 'hamming', or 'tukey'}

hann_orderNone or int, optional

Only used if window='hann' If integer n is provided, a Hann window of n-th order will be used. If None, a first order Hann window is used. Higher orders result in more homogeneous intensity distribution.

tukey_alphafloat, optional

Only used if window='tukey' (default is 0.5). From the documentation of scipy.signal.windows.tukey():

Shape parameter of the Tukey window, representing the fraction of the window inside the cosine tapered region. If zero, the Tukey window is equivalent to a rectangular window. If one, the Tukey window is equivalent to a Hann window.

inplacebool, optional

If True, the apodization is applied in place, i.e. the signal data will be substituted by the apodized one (default is False).

Returns:

outBaseSignal (or subclass), optional: If inplace=False, returns the apodized signal of the same type as the provided Signal.

Examples

>>> import hyperspy.api as hs
>>> wave = hs.data.wave_image()
>>> wave.apply_apodization('tukey', tukey_alpha=0.1).plot()

as_lazy(copy_variance=True, copy_navigator=True, copy_learning_results=True)#

Create a copy of the given Signal as a LazySignal.

Parameters:

copy_variancebool: Whether or not to copy the variance from the original Signal to the new lazy version. Default is True.
copy_navigatorbool: Whether or not to copy the navigator from the original Signal to the new lazy version. Default is True.
copy_learning_resultsbool: Whether to copy the learning_results from the original signal to the new lazy version. Default is True.

Returns:

resLazySignal: The same signal, converted to be lazy

as_signal1D(spectral_axis, out=None, optimize=True)#

Return the Signal as a spectrum.

The chosen spectral axis is moved to the last index in the array and the data is made contiguous for efficient iteration over spectra. By default, the method ensures the data is stored optimally, hence often making a copy of the data. See transpose() for a more general method with more options.

Parameters:

spectral_axisint, str, or DataAxis: The axis can be passed directly, or specified using the index of the axis in the Signal’s axes_manager or the axis name. If "sig" or "nav", the signal or navigation axis will be used, respectively.
outBaseSignal (or subclass) or None: If None, a new Signal is created with the result of the operation and returned (default). If a Signal is passed, it is used to receive the output of the operation, and nothing is returned.
optimizebool: If True, the location of the data in memory is optimised for the fastest iteration over the navigation axes. This operation can cause a peak of memory usage and requires considerable processing times for large datasets and/or low specification hardware. See the Transposing (changing signal spaces) section of the HyperSpy user guide for more information. When operating on lazy signals, if True, the chunks are optimised for the new axes configuration.

as_signal2D(image_axes, out=None, optimize=True)#

Convert a signal to a Signal2D.

The chosen image axes are moved to the last indices in the array and the data is made contiguous for efficient iteration over images.

Parameters:

image_axestuple (of int, str or DataAxis): Select the image axes. Note that the order of the axes matters and it is given in the “natural” i.e. X, Y, Z… order.
outBaseSignal (or subclass) or None: If None, a new Signal is created with the result of the operation and returned (default). If a Signal is passed, it is used to receive the output of the operation, and nothing is returned.
optimizebool: If True, the location of the data in memory is optimised for the fastest iteration over the navigation axes. This operation can cause a peak of memory usage and requires considerable processing times for large datasets and/or low specification hardware. See the Transposing (changing signal spaces) section of the HyperSpy user guide for more information. When operating on lazy signals, if True, the chunks are optimised for the new axes configuration.

Raises:

DataDimensionError: When data.ndim < 2

blind_source_separation(number_of_components=None, algorithm='sklearn_fastica', diff_order=1, diff_axes=None, factors=None, comp_list=None, mask=None, on_loadings=False, reverse_component_criterion='factors', whiten_method='PCA', return_info=False, print_info=True, **kwargs)#

Apply blind source separation (BSS) to the result of a decomposition.

The results are stored in self.learning_results.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters:

number_of_componentsint or None

Number of principal components to pass to the BSS algorithm. If None, you must specify the comp_list argument.

algorithm{"sklearn_fastica" | "orthomax" | "FastICA" | "JADE" |

``”CuBICA”`` | ``”TDSEP”``} or object, default “sklearn_fastica”

The BSS algorithm to use. If algorithm is an object, it must implement a fit_transform() method or fit() and transform() methods, in the same manner as a scikit-learn estimator.

diff_orderint, default 1

Sometimes it is convenient to perform the BSS on the derivative of the signal. If diff_order is 0, the signal is not differentiated.

diff_axesNone, list of int, list of str

If None and on_loadings is False, when diff_order is greater than 1 and signal_dimension is greater than 1, the differences are calculated across all signal axes
If None and on_loadings is True, when diff_order is greater than 1 and navigation_dimension is greater than 1, the differences are calculated across all navigation axes
Otherwise the axes can be specified in a list.

factorsBaseSignal or numpy.ndarray

Factors to decompose. If None, the BSS is performed on the factors of a previous decomposition. If a Signal instance, the navigation dimension must be 1 and the size greater than 1.

comp_listNone or list or numpy.ndarray

Choose the components to apply BSS to. Unlike number_of_components, this argument permits non-contiguous components.

maskBaseSignal or subclass

If not None, the signal locations marked as True are masked. The mask shape must be equal to the signal shape (navigation shape) when on_loadings is False (True).

on_loadingsbool, default False

If True, perform the BSS on the loadings of a previous decomposition, otherwise, perform the BSS on the factors.

reverse_component_criterion{“factors”, “loadings”}, default “factors”

Use either the factors or the loadings to determine if the component needs to be reversed.

whiten_method{"PCA" | "ZCA"} or None, default “PCA”

How to whiten the data prior to blind source separation. If None, no whitening is applied. See whiten_data() for more details.

return_info: bool, default False

The result of the decomposition is stored internally. However, some algorithms generate some extra information that is not stored. If True, return any extra information if available. In the case of sklearn.decomposition objects, this includes the sklearn Estimator object.

print_infobool, default True

If True, print information about the decomposition being performed. In the case of sklearn.decomposition objects, this includes the values of all arguments of the chosen sklearn algorithm.

**kwargsdict

Any keyword arguments are passed to the BSS algorithm.

Returns:

None or subclass of sklearn.base.BaseEstimator

If True and ‘algorithm’ is an sklearn Estimator, returns the: Estimator object.

change_dtype(dtype, rechunk=False)#

Change the data type of a Signal.

Parameters:

dtypestr or numpy.dtype: Typecode string or data-type to which the Signal’s data array is cast. In addition to all the standard numpy Data type objects (dtype), HyperSpy supports four extra dtypes for RGB images: 'rgb8', 'rgba8', 'rgb16', and 'rgba16'. Changing from and to any rgb(a) dtype is more constrained than most other dtype conversions. To change to an rgb(a) dtype, the signal_dimension must be 1, and its size should be 3 (for rgb) or 4 (for rgba) dtypes. The original dtype should be uint8 or uint16 if converting to rgb(a)8 or rgb(a))16, and the navigation_dimension should be at least 2. After conversion, the signal_dimension becomes 2. The dtype of images with original dtype rgb(a)8 or rgb(a)16 can only be changed to uint8 or uint16, and the signal_dimension becomes 1.
rechunkbool: Only has effect when operating on lazy signal. Default False, which means the chunking structure will be retained. If True, the data may be automatically rechunked before performing this operation.

Examples

>>> s = hs.signals.Signal1D([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
>>> s.data
array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
>>> s.change_dtype('float')
>>> s.data
array([1., 2., 3., 4., 5.])

Cluster analysis of a signal or decomposition results of a signal Results are stored in learning_results.

Parameters:

cluster_sourcestr {"bss" | "decomposition" | "signal"} or BaseSignal: If “bss” the blind source separation results are used If “decomposition” the decomposition results are used if “signal” the signal data is used Note that using the signal or BaseSignal can be memory intensive and is only recommended if the Signal dimension is small BaseSignal must have the same navigation dimensions as the signal.
source_for_centersNone, str {"decomposition" | "bss" | "signal"} or BaseSignal: default : None If None the cluster_source is used If “bss” the blind source separation results are used If “decomposition” the decomposition results are used if “signal” the signal data is used BaseSignal must have the same navigation dimensions as the signal.
preprocessingstr {"standard" | "norm" | "minmax"}, None or object: default: ‘norm’ Preprocessing the data before cluster analysis requires preprocessing the data to be clustered to similar scales. Standard preprocessing adjusts each feature to have uniform variation. Norm preprocessing adjusts treats the set of features like a vector and each measurement is scaled to length 1. You can also pass one of the scikit-learn preprocessing scale_method = import sklearn.processing.StandadScaler() preprocessing = scale_method See preprocessing methods in scikit-learn preprocessing for further details. If object, must be sklearn.preprocessing-like.
preprocessing_kwargsdict or None, default None: Additional parameters passed to the supported sklearn preprocessing methods. See sklearn.preprocessing scaling methods for further details
number_of_componentsint, default None: If you are getting the cluster centers using the decomposition results (cluster_source_for_centers=”decomposition”) you can define how many components to use. If set to None the method uses the estimate of significant components found in the decomposition step using the elbow method and stored in the learning_results.number_significant_components attribute. This applies to both bss and decomposition results.
navigation_masknumpy.ndarray of bool: The navigation locations marked as True are not used.
signal_masknumpy.ndarray of bool: The signal locations marked as True are not used in the clustering for “signal” or Signals supplied as cluster source. This is not applied to decomposition results or source_for_centers (as it may be a different shape to the cluster source)
algorithm{"kmeans" | "agglomerative" | "minibatchkmeans" | "spectralclustering"}: See scikit-learn documentation. Default “kmeans”
return_infobool, default False: The result of the cluster analysis is stored internally. However, the cluster class used contain a number of attributes. If True (the default is False) return the cluster object so the attributes can be accessed.
**kwargsdict: Additional parameters passed to the clustering class for initialization. For example, in case of the “kmeans” algorithm, n_init can be used to define the number of times the algorithm is restarted to optimize results.

Returns:

None or object: If 'return_info' is True returns the Scikit-learn cluster object used for clustering. Useful if you wish to examine inertia or other outputs.

Other Parameters:

int: Number of clusters to find using the one of the pre-defined methods “kmeans”, “agglomerative”, “minibatchkmeans”, “spectralclustering” See sklearn.cluster for details

deepcopy()

crop(axis, start=None, end=None, convert_units=False)#

Crops the data in a given axis. The range is given in pixels.

Parameters:

axisint or str: Specify the data axis in which to perform the cropping operation. The axis can be specified using the index of the axis in axes_manager or the axis name.
startint, float, or None: The beginning of the cropping interval. If type is int, the value is taken as the axis index. If type is float the index is calculated using the axis calibration. If start/end is None the method crops from/to the low/high end of the axis.
endint, float, or None: The end of the cropping interval. If type is int, the value is taken as the axis index. If type is float the index is calculated using the axis calibration. If start/end is None the method crops from/to the low/high end of the axis.
convert_unitsbool: Default is False. If True, convert the units using the convert_units() method of the AxesManager. If False, does nothing.

property data#: The underlying data structure as a numpy.ndarray (or dask.array.Array, if the Signal is lazy).

decomposition(normalize_poissonian_noise=False, algorithm='SVD', output_dimension=None, centre=None, auto_transpose=True, navigation_mask=None, signal_mask=None, var_array=None, var_func=None, reproject=None, return_info=False, print_info=True, svd_solver='auto', copy=True, **kwargs)#

The results are stored in self.learning_results.

Read more in the User Guide.

If True, scale the signal to normalize Poissonian noise using the approach described in [*].

algorithmstr {"SVD", "MLPCA", "sklearn_pca", "NMF", "sparse_pca",

``”mini_batch_sparse_pca”``, ``”RPCA”``, ``”ORPCA”``, ``”ORNMF”``} or object, default ``”SVD”``

The decomposition algorithm to use. If algorithm is an object, it must implement a fit_transform() method or fit() and transform() methods, in the same manner as a scikit-learn estimator. For cupy arrays, only “SVD” is supported.

output_dimensionNone or int

Number of components to keep/calculate. Default is None, i.e. min(data.shape).

centreNone or str {"navigation", "signal"}, default None

If None, the data is not centered prior to decomposition.
If “navigation”, the data is centered along the navigation axis. Only used by the “SVD” algorithm.
If “signal”, the data is centered along the signal axis. Only used by the “SVD” algorithm.

auto_transposebool, default True

If True, automatically transposes the data to boost performance. Only used by the “SVD” algorithm.

navigation_masknumpy.ndarray or BaseSignal

The navigation locations marked as True are not used in the decomposition.

signal_masknumpy.ndarray or BaseSignal

The signal locations marked as True are not used in the decomposition.

var_arraynumpy.ndarray

Array of variance for the maximum likelihood PCA algorithm. Only used by the “MLPCA” algorithm.

var_funcNone, callable() or numpy.ndarray, default None

If None, ignored If callable, applies the function to the data to obtain var_array. Only used by the “MLPCA” algorithm. If numpy array, creates var_array by applying a polynomial function defined by the array of coefficients to the data. Only used by the “MLPCA” algorithm.

reprojectNone or str {“signal”, “navigation”, “both”}, default None

If not None, the results of the decomposition will be projected in the selected masked area.

return_info: bool, default False

print_infobool, default True

If True, print information about the decomposition being performed. In the case of sklearn.decomposition objects, this includes the values of all arguments of the chosen sklearn algorithm.

svd_solver{“auto”, “full”, “arpack”, “randomized”}, default “auto”

If "auto": the solver is selected by a default policy based on data.shape and output_dimension: if the input data is larger than 500x500 and the number of components to extract is lower than 80% of the smallest dimension of the data, then the more efficient "randomized" method is enabled. Otherwise the exact full SVD is computed and optionally truncated afterwards.
If "full": run exact SVD, calling the standard LAPACK solver via scipy.linalg.svd(), and select the components by postprocessing
If "arpack": use truncated SVD, calling ARPACK solver via scipy.sparse.linalg.svds(). It strictly requires 0 < output_dimension < min(data.shape)
If "randomized": use truncated SVD, call sklearn.utils.extmath.randomized_svd() to estimate a limited number of components

For cupy arrays, only “full” is supported.

copybool, default True

If True, stores a copy of the data before any pre-treatments such as normalization in s._data_before_treatments. The original data can then be restored by calling s.undo_treatments().
If False, no copy is made. This can be beneficial for memory usage, but care must be taken since data will be overwritten.

**kwargsdict

Any keyword arguments are passed to the decomposition algorithm.

Returns:

tuple of numpy.ndarray or sklearn.base.BaseEstimator or None

If True and ‘algorithm’ in [‘RPCA’, ‘ORPCA’, ‘ORNMF’], returns the low-rank (X) and sparse (E) matrices from robust PCA/NMF.
If True and ‘algorithm’ is an sklearn Estimator, returns the Estimator object.
Otherwise, returns None

derivative(axis, order=1, out=None, **kwargs)#

Calculate the numerical derivative along the given axis, with respect to the calibrated units of that axis.

For a function \(y = f(x)\) and two consecutive values \(x_1\) and \(x_2\):

\[\frac{df(x)}{dx} = \frac{y(x_2)-y(x_1)}{x_2-x_1}\]

Parameters:

axisint, str, or DataAxis: The axis can be passed directly, or specified using the index of the axis in the Signal’s axes_manager or the axis name. If "sig" or "nav", the signal or navigation axis will be used, respectively.
order: int: The order of the derivative.

integrate1D, integrate_simpson

Notes

This function uses numpy.gradient to perform the derivative. See its documentation for implementation details.

diff(axis, order=1, out=None, rechunk=False)#

Returns a signal with the n-th order discrete difference along given axis. i.e. it calculates the difference between consecutive values in the given axis: out[n] = a[n+1] - a[n]. See numpy.diff() for more details.

Parameters:

rechunkbool: Only has effect when operating on lazy signal. Default False, which means the chunking structure will be retained. If True, the data may be automatically rechunked before performing this operation.

Returns:

BaseSignal or None: Note that the size of the data on the given axis decreases by the given order. i.e. if axis is "x" and order is 2, the x dimension is N, der’s x dimension is N - 2.

Notes

If you intend to calculate the numerical derivative, please use the proper derivative() function instead. To avoid erroneous misuse of the diff function as derivative, it raises an error when when working with a non-uniform axis.

Examples

>>> import numpy as np
>>> s = BaseSignal(np.random.random((64, 64, 1024)))
>>> s
<BaseSignal, title: , dimensions: (|1024, 64, 64)>
>>> s.diff(0)

estimate_elbow_position(explained_variance_ratio=None, log=True, max_points=20)#

Estimate the elbow position of a scree plot curve.

Used to estimate the number of significant components in a PCA variance ratio plot or other “elbow” type curves.

Find a line between first and last point on the scree plot. With a classic elbow scree plot, this line more or less defines a triangle. The elbow should be the point which is the furthest distance from this line. For more details, see [1].

Parameters:

explained_variance_ratio{None, numpy array}: Explained variance ratio values that form the scree plot. If None, uses the explained_variance_ratio array stored in s.learning_results, so a decomposition must have been performed first.
max_pointsint: Maximum number of points to consider in the calculation.

Returns:

int: The index of the elbow position in the input array. Due to zero-based indexing, the number of significant components is elbow_position + 1.

Performs cluster analysis of a signal for cluster sizes ranging from n_clusters =2 to max_clusters ( default 12) Note that this can be a slow process for large datasets so please consider reducing max_clusters in this case. For each cluster it evaluates the silhouette score which is a metric of how well separated the clusters are. Maximima or peaks in the scores indicate good choices for cluster sizes.

Parameters:

cluster_sourcestr {“bss”, “decomposition”, “signal”} or BaseSignal: If “bss” the blind source separation results are used If “decomposition” the decomposition results are used if “signal” the signal data is used Note that using the signal can be memory intensive and is only recommended if the Signal dimension is small. Input Signal must have the same navigation dimensions as the signal instance.
max_clustersint, default 10: Max number of clusters to use. The method will scan from 2 to max_clusters.
preprocessingstr {“standard”, “norm”, “minmax”} or object: default: ‘norm’ Preprocessing the data before cluster analysis requires preprocessing the data to be clustered to similar scales. Standard preprocessing adjusts each feature to have uniform variation. Norm preprocessing adjusts treats the set of features like a vector and each measurement is scaled to length 1. You can also pass an instance of a sklearn preprocessing module. See preprocessing methods in scikit-learn preprocessing for further details. If object, must be sklearn.preprocessing-like.
preprocessing_kwargsdict or None, default None: Additional parameters passed to the cluster preprocessing algorithm. See sklearn.preprocessing preprocessing methods for further details
number_of_componentsint, default None: If you are getting the cluster centers using the decomposition results (cluster_source_for_centers=”decomposition”) you can define how many PCA components to use. If set to None the method uses the estimate of significant components found in the decomposition step using the elbow method and stored in the learning_results.number_significant_components attribute.
navigation_maskbool numpy array, defaultNone: The navigation locations marked as True are not used in the clustering.
signal_masknumpy.ndarray of bool, default None: The signal locations marked as True are not used in the clustering. Applies to “signal” or Signal cluster sources only.
metric{'elbow' | 'silhouette' | 'gap'}, default 'gap': Use distance,silhouette analysis or gap statistics to estimate the optimal number of clusters. Gap is believed to be, overall, the best metric but it’s also the slowest. Elbow measures the distances between points in each cluster as an estimate of how well grouped they are and is the fastest metric. For elbow the optimal k is the knee or elbow point. For gap the optimal k is the first k gap(k)>= gap(k+1)-std_error For silhouette the optimal k will be one of the “maxima” found with this method
n_refint, default 4: Number of references to use in gap statistics method Gap statistics compares the results from clustering the data to clustering uniformly distributed data. As clustering has a random variation it is typically averaged n_ref times to get an statistical average.
show_progressbarNone or bool: If True, display a progress bar. If None, the default from the preferences settings is used.
**kwargsdict: Parameters passed to the clustering algorithm.

Returns:

int: Estimate of the best cluster size.

Other Parameters:

n_clustersint: Number of clusters to find using the one of the pre-defined methods “kmeans”,”agglomerative”,”minibatchkmeans”,”spectralclustering” See sklearn.cluster for details

estimate_poissonian_noise_variance(expected_value=None, gain_factor=None, gain_offset=None, correlation_factor=None)#

Estimate the Poissonian noise variance of the signal.

The variance is stored in the metadata.Signal.Noise_properties.variance attribute.

The Poissonian noise variance is equal to the expected value. With the default arguments, this method simply sets the variance attribute to the given expected_value. However, more generally (although then the noise is not strictly Poissonian), the variance may be proportional to the expected value. Moreover, when the noise is a mixture of white (Gaussian) and Poissonian noise, the variance is described by the following linear model:

\[\mathrm{Var}[X] = (a * \mathrm{E}[X] + b) * c\]

Where a is the gain_factor, b is the gain_offset (the Gaussian noise variance) and c the correlation_factor. The correlation factor accounts for correlation of adjacent signal elements that can be modeled as a convolution with a Gaussian point spread function.

Parameters:

expected_valueNone or BaseSignal (or subclass): If None, the signal data is taken as the expected value. Note that this may be inaccurate where the value of data is small.
gain_factorNone or float: a in the above equation. Must be positive. If None, take the value from metadata.Signal.Noise_properties.Variance_linear_model if defined. Otherwise, suppose pure Poissonian noise (i.e. gain_factor=1). If not None, the value is stored in metadata.Signal.Noise_properties.Variance_linear_model.
gain_offsetNone or float: b in the above equation. Must be positive. If None, take the value from metadata.Signal.Noise_properties.Variance_linear_model if defined. Otherwise, suppose pure Poissonian noise (i.e. gain_offset=0). If not None, the value is stored in metadata.Signal.Noise_properties.Variance_linear_model.
correlation_factorNone or float: c in the above equation. Must be positive. If None, take the value from metadata.Signal.Noise_properties.Variance_linear_model if defined. Otherwise, suppose pure Poissonian noise (i.e. correlation_factor=1). If not None, the value is stored in metadata.Signal.Noise_properties.Variance_linear_model.

get_histogram(bins='fd', range_bins=None, max_num_bins=250, out=None, **kwargs)#

Return a histogram of the signal data.

More sophisticated algorithms for determining the bins can be used by passing a string as the bins argument. Other than the 'blocks' and 'knuth' methods, the available algorithms are the same as numpy.histogram().

Note: The lazy version of the algorithm only supports "scott" and "fd" as a string argument for bins.

Parameters:

binsint or sequence of float or str, default “fd”

If bins is an int, it defines the number of equal-width bins in the given range. If bins is a sequence, it defines the bin edges, including the rightmost edge, allowing for non-uniform bin widths.

If bins is a string from the list below, will use the method chosen to calculate the optimal bin width and consequently the number of bins (see Notes for more detail on the estimators) from the data that falls within the requested range. While the bin width will be optimal for the actual data in the range, the number of bins will be computed to fill the entire range, including the empty portions. For visualisation, using the 'auto' option is suggested. Weighted data is not supported for automated bin size selection.

Possible strings are:

'auto' : Maximum of the ‘sturges’ and ‘fd’ estimators. Provides good all around performance.
'fd' : Freedman Diaconis Estimator, robust (resilient to outliers) estimator that takes into account data variability and data size.
'doane' : An improved version of Sturges’ estimator that works better with non-normal datasets.
'scott' : Less robust estimator that that takes into account data variability and data size.
'stone' : Estimator based on leave-one-out cross-validation estimate of the integrated squared error. Can be regarded as a generalization of Scott’s rule.
'rice' : Estimator does not take variability into account, only data size. Commonly overestimates number of bins required.
'sturges' : R’s default method, only accounts for data size. Only optimal for gaussian data and underestimates number of bins for large non-gaussian datasets.
'sqrt' : Square root (of data size) estimator, used by Excel and other programs for its speed and simplicity.
'knuth' : Knuth’s rule is a fixed-width, Bayesian approach to determining the optimal bin width of a histogram.
'blocks' : Determination of optimal adaptive-width histogram bins using the Bayesian Blocks algorithm.

range_bins(float, float), optional

The lower and upper limit of the range of bins. If not provided, range is simply (a.min(), a.max()). Values outside the range are ignored. The first element of the range must be less than or equal to the second. range affects the automatic bin computation as well. While bin width is computed to be optimal based on the actual data within range, the bin count will fill the entire range including portions containing no data.

max_num_binsint, default 250

When estimating the bins using one of the str methods, the number of bins is capped by this number to avoid a MemoryError being raised by numpy.histogram().

outBaseSignal (or subclass) or None

If None, a new Signal is created with the result of the operation and returned (default). If a Signal is passed, it is used to receive the output of the operation, and nothing is returned.

rechunkbool

Only has effect when operating on lazy signal. Default False, which means the chunking structure will be retained. If True, the data may be automatically rechunked before performing this operation.

**kwargs

other keyword arguments (weight and density) are described in numpy.histogram().

Returns:

hist_specSignal1D: A 1D spectrum instance containing the histogram.

Parameters:

None

Returns:

varianceNone or float or BaseSignal (or subclass): Noise variance of the signal, if set. Otherwise returns None.

ifft(shift=None, return_real=True, **kwargs)#

Compute the inverse discrete Fourier Transform.

This function computes the real part of the inverse of the discrete Fourier Transform over the signal axes by means of the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) as implemented in numpy.

Parameters:

shiftbool or None, optional: If None, the shift option will be set to the original status of the FFT using the value in metadata. If no FFT entry is present in metadata, the parameter will be set to False. If True, the origin of the FFT will be shifted to the centre. If False, the origin will be kept at (0, 0) (default is None).
return_realbool, default True: If True, returns only the real part of the inverse FFT. If False, returns all parts.
**kwargsdict: other keyword arguments are described in numpy.fft.ifftn()

Returns:

sBaseSignal (or subclass): A Signal containing the result of the inverse FFT algorithm

Raises:

NotImplementedError: If performing IFFT along a non-uniform axis.

map(function, show_progressbar=None, num_workers=None, inplace=True, ragged=None, navigation_chunks=None, output_signal_size=None, output_dtype=None, lazy_output=None, silence_warnings=False, **kwargs)#

Apply a function to the signal data at all the navigation coordinates.

The function must operate on numpy arrays. It is applied to the data at each navigation coordinate pixel-py-pixel. Any extra keyword arguments are passed to the function. The keywords can take different values at different coordinates. If the function takes an axis or axes argument, the function is assumed to be vectorized and the signal axes are assigned to axis or axes. Otherwise, the signal is iterated over the navigation axes and a progress bar is displayed to monitor the progress.

In general, only navigation axes (order, calibration, and number) are guaranteed to be preserved.

Parameters:

functionfunction: Any function that can be applied to the signal. This function should not alter any mutable input arguments or input data. So do not do operations which alter the input, without copying it first. For example, instead of doing image *= mask, rather do image = image * mask. Likewise, do not do image[5, 5] = 10 directly on the input data or arguments, but make a copy of it first. For example via image = copy.deepcopy(image).
show_progressbarNone or bool: If True, display a progress bar. If None, the default from the preferences settings is used.
lazy_outputNone or bool: If True, the output will be returned as a lazy signal. This means the calculation itself will be delayed until either compute() is used, or the signal is stored as a file. If False, the output will be returned as a non-lazy signal, this means the outputs will be calculated directly, and loaded into memory. If None the output will be lazy if the input signal is lazy, and non-lazy if the input signal is non-lazy.
inplacebool, default True: If True, the data is replaced by the result. Otherwise a new Signal with the results is returned.
raggedNone or bool, default None: Indicates if the results for each navigation pixel are of identical shape (and/or numpy arrays to begin with). If None, the output signal will be ragged only if the original signal is ragged.
navigation_chunksstr, None, int or tuple of int, default None: Set the navigation_chunks argument to a tuple of integers to split the navigation axes into chunks. This can be useful to enable using multiple cores with signals which are less that 100 MB. This argument is passed to rechunk().
output_signal_sizeNone, tuple: Since the size and dtype of the signal dimension of the output signal can be different from the input signal, this output signal size must be calculated somehow. If both output_signal_size and output_dtype is None, this is automatically determined. However, if for some reason this is not working correctly, this can be specified via output_signal_size and output_dtype. The most common reason for this failing is due to the signal size being different for different navigation positions. If this is the case, use ragged=True. None is default.
output_dtypeNone, numpy.dtype: See docstring for output_signal_size for more information. Default None.
num_workersNone or int: Number of worker used by dask. If None, default to dask default value.
silence_warningsbool, str or tuple, list of str: If True, don’t warn when one of the signal axes are non-uniform, or the scales of the signal axes differ. If "non-uniform", "scales" or "units" are in the list the warning will be silenced when using non-uniform axis, different scales or different units of the signal axes, respectively. If False, all warnings will be added to the logger. Default is False.
**kwargsdict: All extra keyword arguments are passed to the provided function

Notes

If the function results do not have identical shapes, the result is an array of navigation shape, where each element corresponds to the result of the function (of arbitrary object type), called a “ragged array”. As such, most functions are not able to operate on the result and the data should be used directly.

This method is similar to Python’s map() that can also be utilized with a BaseSignal instance for similar purposes. However, this method has the advantage of being faster because it iterates the underlying numpy data array instead of the BaseSignal.

Currently requires a uniform axis.

Examples

Apply a Gaussian filter to all the images in the dataset. The sigma parameter is constant:

>>> import scipy.ndimage
>>> im = hs.signals.Signal2D(np.random.random((10, 64, 64)))
>>> im.map(scipy.ndimage.gaussian_filter, sigma=2.5)

Apply a Gaussian filter to all the images in the dataset. The signal parameter is variable:

>>> im = hs.signals.Signal2D(np.random.random((10, 64, 64)))
>>> sigmas = hs.signals.BaseSignal(np.linspace(2, 5, 10)).T
>>> im.map(scipy.ndimage.gaussian_filter, sigma=sigmas)

Rotate the two signal dimensions, with different amount as a function of navigation index. Delay the calculation by getting the output lazily. The calculation is then done using the compute method.

>>> from scipy.ndimage import rotate
>>> s = hs.signals.Signal2D(np.random.random((5, 4, 40, 40)))
>>> s_angle = hs.signals.BaseSignal(np.linspace(0, 90, 20).reshape(5, 4)).T
>>> s.map(rotate, angle=s_angle, reshape=False, lazy_output=True)
>>> s.compute()

Rotate the two signal dimensions, with different amount as a function of navigation index. In addition, the output is returned as a new signal, instead of replacing the old signal.

>>> s = hs.signals.Signal2D(np.random.random((5, 4, 40, 40)))
>>> s_angle = hs.signals.BaseSignal(np.linspace(0, 90, 20).reshape(5, 4)).T
>>> s_rot = s.map(rotate, angle=s_angle, reshape=False, inplace=False)

If you want some more control over computing a signal that isn’t lazy you can always set lazy_output to True and then compute the signal setting the scheduler to ‘threading’, ‘processes’, ‘single-threaded’ or ‘distributed’.

Additionally, you can set the navigation_chunks argument to a tuple of integers to split the navigation axes into chunks. This can be useful if your signal is less that 100 mb but you still want to use multiple cores.

>>> s = hs.signals.Signal2D(np.random.random((5, 4, 40, 40)))
>>> s_angle = hs.signals.BaseSignal(np.linspace(0, 90, 20).reshape(5, 4)).T
>>> s.map(
...    rotate, angle=s_angle, reshape=False, lazy_output=True,
...    inplace=True, navigation_chunks=(2,2)
... )
>>> s.compute()

plot(navigator='auto', axes_manager=None, plot_markers=True, **kwargs)#

Plot the signal at the current coordinates.

For multidimensional datasets an optional figure, the “navigator”, with a cursor to navigate that data is raised. In any case it is possible to navigate the data using the sliders. Currently only signals with signal_dimension equal to 0, 1 and 2 can be plotted.

Parameters:

navigatorstr, None, or BaseSignal (or subclass).

Allowed string values are ``’auto’``, ``’slider’``, and ``’spectrum’``.

If 'auto':
- If navigation_dimension > 0, a navigator is provided to explore the data.
- If navigation_dimension is 1 and the signal is an image the navigator is a sum spectrum obtained by integrating over the signal axes (the image).
- If navigation_dimension is 1 and the signal is a spectrum the navigator is an image obtained by stacking all the spectra in the dataset horizontally.
- If navigation_dimension is > 1, the navigator is a sum image obtained by integrating the data over the signal axes.
- Additionally, if navigation_dimension > 2, a window with one slider per axis is raised to navigate the data.
- For example, if the dataset consists of 3 navigation axes “X”, “Y”, “Z” and one signal axis, “E”, the default navigator will be an image obtained by integrating the data over “E” at the current “Z” index and a window with sliders for the “X”, “Y”, and “Z” axes will be raised. Notice that changing the “Z”-axis index changes the navigator in this case.
- For lazy signals, the navigator will be calculated using the compute_navigator() method.
If 'slider':
- If navigation dimension > 0 a window with one slider per axis is raised to navigate the data.
If 'spectrum':
- If navigation_dimension > 0 the navigator is always a spectrum obtained by integrating the data over all other axes.
- Not supported for lazy signals, the 'auto' option will be used instead.
If None, no navigator will be provided.

Alternatively a BaseSignal (or subclass) instance can be provided. The navigation or signal shape must match the navigation shape of the signal to plot or the navigation_shape + signal_shape must be equal to the navigator_shape of the current object (for a dynamic navigator). If the signal dtype is RGB or RGBA this parameter has no effect and the value is always set to 'slider'.

axes_managerNone or AxesManager

If None, the signal’s axes_manager attribute is used.

plot_markersbool, default True

Plot markers added using s.add_marker(marker, permanent=True). Note, a large number of markers might lead to very slow plotting.

navigator_kwdsdict

Only for image navigator, additional keyword arguments for matplotlib.pyplot.imshow().

normstr, default 'auto'

The function used to normalize the data prior to plotting. Allowable strings are: 'auto', 'linear', 'log'. If 'auto', intensity is plotted on a linear scale except when power_spectrum=True (only for complex signals).

autoscalestr

The string must contain any combination of the 'x' and 'v' characters. If 'x' or 'v' (for values) are in the string, the corresponding horizontal or vertical axis limits are set to their maxima and the axis limits will reset when the data or the navigation indices are changed. Default is 'v'.

**kwargsdict

Only when plotting an image: additional (optional) keyword arguments for matplotlib.pyplot.imshow().

plot_bss_results(factors_navigator='smart_auto', loadings_navigator='smart_auto', factors_dim=2, loadings_dim=2)#

Plot the blind source separation factors and loadings.

Unlike plot_bss_factors() and plot_bss_loadings(), this method displays one component at a time. Therefore it provides a more compact visualization than then other two methods. The loadings and factors are displayed in different windows and each has its own navigator/sliders to navigate them if they are multidimensional. The component index axis is synchronized between the two.

Parameters:

factors_navigatorstr, None, or BaseSignal (or subclass): One of: 'smart_auto', 'auto', None, 'spectrum' or a BaseSignal object. 'smart_auto' (default) displays sliders if the navigation dimension is less than 3. For a description of the other options see the plot() documentation for details.
loadings_navigatorstr, None, or BaseSignal (or subclass): See the factors_navigator parameter
factors_dimint: Currently HyperSpy cannot plot a signal when the signal dimension is higher than two. Therefore, to visualize the BSS results when the factors or the loadings have signal dimension greater than 2, the data can be viewed as spectra (or images) by setting this parameter to 1 (or 2). (The default is 2)
loadings_dimint: See the factors_dim parameter

factors_navigatorstr, None, or BaseSignal (or subclass): One of: 'smart_auto', 'auto', None, 'spectrum' or a BaseSignal object. 'smart_auto' (default) displays sliders if the navigation dimension is less than 3. For a description of the other options see the plot() documentation for details.
loadings_navigatorstr, None, or BaseSignal (or subclass): See the factors_navigator parameter
factors_dim, loadings_dimint: Currently HyperSpy cannot plot a signal when the signal dimension is higher than two. Therefore, to visualize the BSS results when the factors or the loadings have signal dimension greater than 2, the data can be viewed as spectra (or images) by setting this parameter to 1 (or 2). (The default is 2)

Plot the decomposition explained variance ratio vs index number.

This is commonly known as a scree plot.

Read more in the User Guide.

Parameters:

nint or None: Number of components to plot. If None, all components will be plot
logbool, default True: If True, the y axis uses a log scale.
thresholdfloat or int: Threshold used to determine how many components should be highlighted as signal (as opposed to noise). If a float (between 0 and 1), threshold will be interpreted as a cutoff value, defining the variance at which to draw a line showing the cutoff between signal and noise; the number of signal components will be automatically determined by the cutoff value. If an int, threshold is interpreted as the number of components to highlight as signal (and no cutoff line will be drawn)
hline: {‘auto’, True, False}: Whether or not to draw a horizontal line illustrating the variance cutoff for signal/noise determination. Default is to draw the line at the value given in threshold (if it is a float) and not draw in the case threshold is an int, or not given. If True, (and threshold is an int), the line will be drawn through the last component defined as signal. If False, the line will not be drawn in any circumstance.
vline: bool, default False: Whether or not to draw a vertical line illustrating an estimate of the number of significant components. If True, the line will be drawn at the the knee or elbow position of the curve indicating the number of significant components. If False, the line will not be drawn in any circumstance.
xaxis_type{‘index’, ‘number’}: Determines the type of labeling applied to the x-axis. If 'index', axis will be labeled starting at 0 (i.e. “pythonic index” labeling); if 'number', it will start at 1 (number labeling).
xaxis_labeling{‘ordinal’, ‘cardinal’, None}: Determines the format of the x-axis tick labels. If 'ordinal', “1st, 2nd, …” will be used; if 'cardinal', “1, 2, …” will be used. If None, an appropriate default will be selected.
signal_fmtdict: Dictionary of matplotlib formatting values for the signal components
noise_fmtdict: Dictionary of matplotlib formatting values for the noise components
figmatplotlib.figure.Figure or None: If None, a default figure will be created, otherwise will plot into fig
axmatplotlib.axes.Axes or None: If None, a default ax will be created, otherwise will plot into ax
**kwargs: remaining keyword arguments are passed to matplotlib.figure.Figure

Returns:

matplotlib.axes.Axes: Axes object containing the scree plot

Examples

To generate a scree plot with customized symbols for signal vs. noise components and a modified cutoff threshold value:

>>> s = hs.load("some_spectrum_image") 
>>> s.decomposition() 
>>> s.plot_explained_variance_ratio(
...    n=40,
...    threshold=0.005,
...    signal_fmt={'marker': 'v', 's': 150, 'c': 'pink'},
...    noise_fmt={'marker': '*', 's': 200, 'c': 'green'}
...    ) 

print_summary_statistics(formatter='%.3g', rechunk=False)#

Prints the five-number summary statistics of the data, the mean, and the standard deviation.

Prints the mean, standard deviation (std), maximum (max), minimum (min), first quartile (Q1), median, and third quartile. nans are removed from the calculations.

Parameters:

formatterstr: The number formatter to use for the output
rechunkbool: Only has effect when operating on lazy signal. Default False, which means the chunking structure will be retained. If True, the data may be automatically rechunked before performing this operation.

get_histogram

property ragged#: Whether the signal is ragged or not.

rebin(new_shape=None, scale=None, crop=True, dtype=None, out=None)#

Rebin the signal into a smaller or larger shape, based on linear interpolation. Specify either new_shape or scale. Scale of 1 means no binning and scale less than one results in up-sampling.

Parameters:

new_shapelist (of float or int) or None: For each dimension specify the new_shape. This will internally be converted into a scale parameter.
scalelist (of float or int) or None: For each dimension, specify the new:old pixel ratio, e.g. a ratio of 1 is no binning and a ratio of 2 means that each pixel in the new spectrum is twice the size of the pixels in the old spectrum. The length of the list should match the dimension of the Signal’s underlying data array. Note : Only one of ``scale`` or ``new_shape`` should be specified, otherwise the function will not run
cropbool: Whether or not to crop the resulting rebinned data (default is True). When binning by a non-integer number of pixels it is likely that the final row in each dimension will contain fewer than the full quota to fill one pixel. For example, a 5*5 array binned by 2.1 will produce two rows containing 2.1 pixels and one row containing only 0.8 pixels. Selection of crop=True or crop=False determines whether or not this “black” line is cropped from the final binned array or not. Please note that if ``crop=False`` is used, the final row in each dimension may appear black if a fractional number of pixels are left over. It can be removed but has been left to preserve total counts before and after binning.
dtype{None, numpy.dtype, “same”}: Specify the dtype of the output. If None, the dtype will be determined by the behaviour of numpy.sum(), if "same", the dtype will be kept the same. Default is None.
outBaseSignal (or subclass) or None: If None, a new Signal is created with the result of the operation and returned (default). If a Signal is passed, it is used to receive the output of the operation, and nothing is returned.

Returns:

BaseSignal: The resulting cropped signal.

Raises:

NotImplementedError: If trying to rebin over a non-uniform axis.

Examples

>>> spectrum = hs.signals.Signal1D(np.ones([4, 4, 10]))
>>> spectrum.data[1, 2, 9] = 5
>>> print(spectrum)
<Signal1D, title: , dimensions: (4, 4|10)>
>>> print ('Sum =', sum(sum(sum(spectrum.data))))
Sum = 164.0

>>> scale = [2, 2, 5]
>>> test = spectrum.rebin(scale)
>>> print(test)
<Signal1D, title: , dimensions: (2, 2|5)>
>>> print('Sum =', sum(sum(sum(test.data))))
Sum = 164.0

>>> s = hs.signals.Signal1D(np.ones((2, 5, 10), dtype=np.uint8))
>>> print(s)
<Signal1D, title: , dimensions: (5, 2|10)>
>>> print(s.data.dtype)
uint8

Use dtype=np.unit16 to specify a dtype

>>> s2 = s.rebin(scale=(5, 2, 1), dtype=np.uint16)
>>> print(s2.data.dtype)
uint16

Use dtype=”same” to keep the same dtype

>>> s3 = s.rebin(scale=(5, 2, 1), dtype="same")
>>> print(s3.data.dtype)
uint8

By default dtype=None, the dtype is determined by the behaviour of numpy.sum, in this case, unsigned integer of the same precision as the platform integer

>>> s4 = s.rebin(scale=(5, 2, 1))
>>> print(s4.data.dtype) 
uint32

reverse_bss_component(component_number)#

Reverse the independent component.

Parameters:

component_numberlist or int: component index/es

Examples

>>> s = hs.load('some_file') 
>>> s.decomposition(True) 
>>> s.blind_source_separation(3) 

Reverse component 1

>>> s.reverse_bss_component(1) 

Reverse components 0 and 2

>>> s.reverse_bss_component((0, 2)) 

reverse_decomposition_component(component_number)#

Reverse the decomposition component.

Parameters:

component_numberlist or int: component index/es

Examples

>>> s = hs.load('some_file') 
>>> s.decomposition(True) 

Reverse component 1

>>> s.reverse_decomposition_component(1) 

Reverse components 0 and 2

>>> s.reverse_decomposition_component((0, 2)) 

rollaxis(axis, to_axis, optimize=False)#

Roll the specified axis backwards, until it lies in a given position.

Parameters:

axisint, str, or DataAxis: The axis can be passed directly, or specified using the index of the axis in the Signal’s axes_manager or the axis name. If "sig" or "nav", the signal or navigation axis will be used, respectively. The axis to roll backwards. The positions of the other axes do not change relative to one another.
to_axisint, str, or DataAxis: The axis can be passed directly, or specified using the index of the axis in the Signal’s axes_manager or the axis name. If "sig" or "nav", the signal or navigation axis will be used, respectively. The axis is rolled until it lies before this other axis.
optimizebool: If True, the location of the data in memory is optimised for the fastest iteration over the navigation axes. This operation can cause a peak of memory usage and requires considerable processing times for large datasets and/or low specification hardware. See the Transposing (changing signal spaces) section of the HyperSpy user guide for more information. When operating on lazy signals, if True, the chunks are optimised for the new axes configuration.

Returns:

sBaseSignal (or subclass): Output signal.

save(filename=None, overwrite=None, extension=None, file_format=None, **kwds)#

Saves the signal in the specified format.

The function gets the format from the specified extension (see Supported formats in the User Guide for more information):

'hspy' for HyperSpy’s HDF5 specification
'rpl' for Ripple (useful to export to Digital Micrograph)
'msa' for EMSA/MSA single spectrum saving.
'unf' for SEMPER unf binary format.
'blo' for Blockfile diffraction stack saving.
Many image formats such as 'png', 'tiff', 'jpeg'…

If no extension is provided the default file format as defined in the preferences is used. Please note that not all the formats supports saving datasets of arbitrary dimensions, e.g. 'msa' only supports 1D data, and blockfiles only supports image stacks with a navigation_dimension < 2.

Each format accepts a different set of parameters. For details see the specific format documentation.

Parameters:

filenamestr or None

If None (default) and tmp_parameters.filename and tmp_parameters.folder are defined, the filename and path will be taken from there. A valid extension can be provided e.g. 'my_file.rpl' (see extension parameter).

overwriteNone or bool

If None, if the file exists it will query the user. If True(False) it does(not) overwrite the file if it exists.

extensionNone or str

The extension of the file that defines the file format. Allowable string values are: {'hspy', 'hdf5', 'rpl', 'msa', 'unf', 'blo', 'emd', and common image extensions e.g. 'tiff', 'png', etc.} 'hspy' and 'hdf5' are equivalent. Use 'hdf5' if compatibility with HyperSpy versions older than 1.2 is required. If None, the extension is determined from the following list in this order:

the filename
Signal.tmp_parameters.extension
'hspy' (the default extension)

chunkstuple or True or None (default)

HyperSpy, Nexus and EMD NCEM format only. Define chunks used when saving. The chunk shape should follow the order of the array (s.data.shape), not the shape of the axes_manager. If None and lazy signal, the dask array chunking is used. If None and non-lazy signal, the chunks are estimated automatically to have at least one chunk per signal space. If True, the chunking is determined by the the h5py guess_chunk function.

save_original_metadatabool , defaultFalse

Nexus file only. Option to save hyperspy.original_metadata with the signal. A loaded Nexus file may have a large amount of data when loaded which you may wish to omit on saving

use_defaultbool , defaultFalse

Nexus file only. Define the default dataset in the file. If set to True the signal or first signal in the list of signals will be defined as the default (following Nexus v3 data rules).

write_datasetbool, optional

Only for hspy files. If True, write the dataset, otherwise, don’t write it. Useful to save attributes without having to write the whole dataset. Default is True.

close_filebool, optional

Only for hdf5-based files and some zarr store. Close the file after writing. Default is True.

file_format: string

The file format of choice to save the file. If not given, it is inferred from the file extension.

set_noise_variance(variance)#

Set the noise variance of the signal.

Equivalent to s.metadata.set_item("Signal.Noise_properties.variance", variance).

Parameters:

varianceNone or float or BaseSignal (or subclass): Value or values of the noise variance. A value of None is equivalent to clearing the variance.

Returns:

None

set_signal_origin(origin)#

Set the signal_origin metadata value.

The signal_origin attribute specifies if the data was obtained through experiment or simulation.

Parameters:

originstr: Typically 'experiment' or 'simulation'

set_signal_type(signal_type='')#

Set the signal type and convert the current signal accordingly.

The signal_type attribute specifies the type of data that the signal contains e.g. electron energy-loss spectroscopy data, photoemission spectroscopy data, etc.

When setting signal_type to a “known” type, HyperSpy converts the current signal to the most appropriate BaseSignal subclass. Known signal types are signal types that have a specialized BaseSignal subclass associated, usually providing specific features for the analysis of that type of signal.

HyperSpy ships only with generic signal types. External packages can register domain-specific signal types, usually associated with specific measurement techniques. To print a list of registered signal types in the current installation, call print_known_signal_types(), and see the developer guide for details on how to add new signal_types. A non-exhaustive list of HyperSpy extensions is maintained here: hyperspy/hyperspy-extensions-list. See also the HyperSpy Website for an overview of the ecosystem.

Parameters:

signal_typestr, optional: If no arguments are passed, the signal_type is set to undefined and the current signal converted to a generic signal subclass. Otherwise, set the signal_type to the given signal type or to the signal type corresponding to the given signal type alias. Setting the signal_type to a known signal type (if exists) is highly advisable. If none exists, it is good practice to set signal_type to a value that best describes the data signal type.

See also

hyperspy.api.print_known_signal_types

Examples

Let’s first print all known signal types (assuming the extensions eXSpy and holoSpy are installed):

>>> s = hs.signals.Signal1D([0, 1, 2, 3])
>>> s
<Signal1D, title: , dimensions: (|4)>
>>> hs.print_known_signal_types() 
+--------------------+---------------------+--------------------+----------+
|    signal_type     |       aliases       |     class name     | package  |
+--------------------+---------------------+--------------------+----------+
| DielectricFunction | dielectric function | DielectricFunction |   exspy  |
|      EDS_SEM       |                     |   EDSSEMSpectrum   |   exspy  |
|      EDS_TEM       |                     |   EDSTEMSpectrum   |   exspy  |
|        EELS        |       TEM EELS      |    EELSSpectrum    |   exspy  |
|      hologram      |                     |   HologramImage    |  holospy |
+--------------------+---------------------+--------------------+----------+

We can set the signal_type using the signal_type:

>>> s.set_signal_type("EELS") 
>>> s 
<EELSSpectrum, title: , dimensions: (|4)>
>>> s.set_signal_type("EDS_SEM") 
>>> s 
<EDSSEMSpectrum, title: , dimensions: (|4)>

or any of its aliases:

>>> s.set_signal_type("TEM EELS") 
>>> s 
<EELSSpectrum, title: , dimensions: (|4)>

To set the signal_type to “undefined”, simply call the method without arguments:

>>> s.set_signal_type()
>>> s
<Signal1D, title: , dimensions: (|4)>

split(axis='auto', number_of_parts='auto', step_sizes='auto')#

Splits the data into several signals.

The split can be defined by giving the number_of_parts, a homogeneous step size, or a list of customized step sizes. By default ('auto'), the function is the reverse of stack().

Parameters:

axisint, str, or DataAxis: The axis can be passed directly, or specified using the index of the axis in the Signal’s axes_manager or the axis name. If "sig" or "nav", the signal or navigation axis will be used, respectively. If 'auto' and if the object has been created with stack() (and stack_metadata=True), this method will return the former list of signals (information stored in metadata._HyperSpy.Stacking_history). If it was not created with stack(), the last navigation axis will be used.
number_of_partsstr or int: Number of parts in which the spectrum image will be split. The splitting is homogeneous. When the axis size is not divisible by the number_of_parts the remainder data is lost without warning. If number_of_parts and step_sizes is 'auto', number_of_parts equals the length of the axis, step_sizes equals one, and the axis is suppressed from each sub-spectrum.
step_sizesstr, list (of int), or int: Size of the split parts. If 'auto', the step_sizes equals one. If an int is given, the splitting is homogeneous.

Returns:

list of BaseSignal: A list of the split signals

Raises:

NotImplementedError: If trying to split along a non-uniform axis.

Examples

>>> s = hs.signals.Signal1D(np.random.random([4, 3, 2]))
>>> s
<Signal1D, title: , dimensions: (3, 4|2)>
>>> s.split()
[<Signal1D, title: , dimensions: (3|2)>, <Signal1D, title: , dimensions: (3|2)>, <Signal1D, title: , dimensions: (3|2)>, <Signal1D, title: , dimensions: (3|2)>]
>>> s.split(step_sizes=2)
[<Signal1D, title: , dimensions: (3, 2|2)>, <Signal1D, title: , dimensions: (3, 2|2)>]
>>> s.split(step_sizes=[1, 2])
[<Signal1D, title: , dimensions: (3, 1|2)>, <Signal1D, title: , dimensions: (3, 2|2)>]

squeeze()#

Remove single-dimensional entries from the shape of an array and the axes. See numpy.squeeze() for more details.

Returns:

ssignal: A new signal object with single-entry dimensions removed

Examples

>>> s = hs.signals.Signal2D(np.random.random((2, 1, 1, 6, 8, 8)))
>>> s
<Signal2D, title: , dimensions: (6, 1, 1, 2|8, 8)>
>>> s = s.squeeze()
>>> s
<Signal2D, title: , dimensions: (6, 2|8, 8)>

std(axis=None, out=None, rechunk=False)#

Returns a signal with the standard deviation of the signal along at least one axis.

Parameters:

axisint, str, DataAxis or tuple: Either a single or multiple axes in a tuple can be passed. In both cases, the axes can be passed directly, or specified using the index in axes_manager or the name of the axis. Any duplicates are removed. If "sig" or "nav", the signal or navigation axes will be used, respectively. If None, the operation is performed over all navigation axes (default).
outBaseSignal (or subclass) or None: If None, a new Signal is created with the result of the operation and returned (default). If a Signal is passed, it is used to receive the output of the operation, and nothing is returned.
rechunkbool: Only has effect when operating on lazy signal. Default False, which means the chunking structure will be retained. If True, the data may be automatically rechunked before performing this operation.

Returns:

sBaseSignal (or subclass): A new Signal containing the standard deviation of the provided Signal over the specified axes

See also

max, min, sum, mean, var, indexmax, indexmin, valuemax, valuemin

Examples

>>> import numpy as np
>>> s = BaseSignal(np.random.random((64, 64, 1024)))
>>> s
<BaseSignal, title: , dimensions: (|1024, 64, 64)>
>>> s.std(0)
<Signal2D, title: , dimensions: (|64, 64)>

sum(axis=None, out=None, rechunk=False)#

Sum the data over the given axes.

Parameters:

axisint, str, DataAxis or tuple: Either a single or multiple axes in a tuple can be passed. In both cases, the axes can be passed directly, or specified using the index in axes_manager or the name of the axis. Any duplicates are removed. If "sig" or "nav", the signal or navigation axes will be used, respectively. If None, the operation is performed over all navigation axes (default).
outBaseSignal (or subclass) or None: If None, a new Signal is created with the result of the operation and returned (default). If a Signal is passed, it is used to receive the output of the operation, and nothing is returned.
rechunkbool: Only has effect when operating on lazy signal. Default False, which means the chunking structure will be retained. If True, the data may be automatically rechunked before performing this operation.

Returns:

BaseSignal: A new Signal containing the sum of the provided Signal along the specified axes.

See also

max, min, mean, std, var, indexmax, indexmin, valuemax, valuemin

Notes

If you intend to calculate the numerical integral of an unbinned signal, please use the integrate1D() function instead. To avoid erroneous misuse of the sum function as integral, it raises a warning when working with an unbinned, non-uniform axis.

Examples

>>> import numpy as np
>>> s = BaseSignal(np.random.random((64, 64, 1024)))
>>> s
<BaseSignal, title: , dimensions: (|1024, 64, 64)>
>>> s.sum(0)
<Signal2D, title: , dimensions: (|64, 64)>

swap_axes(axis1, axis2, optimize=False)#

Swap two axes in the signal.

Parameters:

axis1: :class:`int`, :class:`str`, or :class:`~hyperspy.axes.DataAxis`: The axis can be passed directly, or specified using the index of the axis in the Signal’s axes_manager or the axis name. If "sig" or "nav", the signal or navigation axis will be used, respectively.
axis2: :class:`int`, :class:`str`, or :class:`~hyperspy.axes.DataAxis`: The axis can be passed directly, or specified using the index of the axis in the Signal’s axes_manager or the axis name. If "sig" or "nav", the signal or navigation axis will be used, respectively.
optimizebool: If True, the location of the data in memory is optimised for the fastest iteration over the navigation axes. This operation can cause a peak of memory usage and requires considerable processing times for large datasets and/or low specification hardware. See the Transposing (changing signal spaces) section of the HyperSpy user guide for more information. When operating on lazy signals, if True, the chunks are optimised for the new axes configuration.

Returns:

sBaseSignal (or subclass): A copy of the object with the axes swapped.

rollaxis

to_device()#

Transfer data array from host to GPU device memory using cupy.asarray. Lazy signals are not supported by this method, see user guide for information on how to process data lazily using the GPU.

Returns:

None.

Raises:

BaseException: Raise expection if cupy is not installed.
BaseException: Raise expection if signal is lazy.

to_host()#

Transfer data array from GPU device to host memory.

Returns:

None.

Raises:

BaseException: Raise expection if signal is lazy.

transpose(signal_axes=None, navigation_axes=None, optimize=False)#

Transposes the signal to have the required signal and navigation axes.

Parameters:

signal_axesNone, int, or iterable type: The number (or indices) of axes to convert to signal axes
navigation_axesNone, int, or iterable type: The number (or indices) of axes to convert to navigation axes
optimizebool: If True, the location of the data in memory is optimised for the fastest iteration over the navigation axes. This operation can cause a peak of memory usage and requires considerable processing times for large datasets and/or low specification hardware. See the Transposing (changing signal spaces) section of the HyperSpy user guide for more information. When operating on lazy signals, if True, the chunks are optimised for the new axes configuration.

See also

T, as_signal2D, as_signal1D

Notes

With the exception of both axes parameters (signal_axes and navigation_axes getting iterables, generally one has to be None (i.e. “floating”). The other one specifies either the required number or explicitly the indices of axes to move to the corresponding space. If both are iterables, full control is given as long as all axes are assigned to one space only.

Examples

>>> # just create a signal with many distinct dimensions
>>> s = hs.signals.BaseSignal(np.random.rand(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9))
>>> s
<BaseSignal, title: , dimensions: (|9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1)>

>>> s.transpose() # swap signal and navigation spaces
<BaseSignal, title: , dimensions: (9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1|)>

>>> s.T # a shortcut for no arguments
<BaseSignal, title: , dimensions: (9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1|)>

>>> # roll to leave 5 axes in navigation space
>>> s.transpose(signal_axes=5)

>>> # roll leave 3 axes in navigation space
>>> s.transpose(navigation_axes=3)
<BaseSignal, title: , dimensions: (3, 2, 1|9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4)>

>>> # 3 explicitly defined axes in signal space
>>> s.transpose(signal_axes=[0, 2, 6])
<BaseSignal, title: , dimensions: (8, 6, 5, 4, 2, 1|9, 7, 3)>

>>> # A mix of two lists, but specifying all axes explicitly
>>> # The order of axes is preserved in both lists
>>> s.transpose(navigation_axes=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8], signal_axes=[0, 6, 7])
<BaseSignal, title: , dimensions: (8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 1|9, 3, 2)>

Returns a signal with the value of coordinates of the maximum along an axis.

Parameters:

axisint, str, or DataAxis: The axis can be passed directly, or specified using the index of the axis in the Signal’s axes_manager or the axis name. If "sig" or "nav", the signal or navigation axis will be used, respectively.
outBaseSignal (or subclass) or None: If None, a new Signal is created with the result of the operation and returned (default). If a Signal is passed, it is used to receive the output of the operation, and nothing is returned.
rechunkbool: Only has effect when operating on lazy signal. Default False, which means the chunking structure will be retained. If True, the data may be automatically rechunked before performing this operation.

Returns:

sBaseSignal (or subclass): A new Signal containing the calibrated coordinate values of the maximum along the specified axis.

valuemin(axis, out=None, rechunk=False)#

Returns a signal with the value of coordinates of the minimum along an axis.

Parameters:

axisint, str, or DataAxis: The axis can be passed directly, or specified using the index of the axis in the Signal’s axes_manager or the axis name. If "sig" or "nav", the signal or navigation axis will be used, respectively.
outBaseSignal (or subclass) or None: If None, a new Signal is created with the result of the operation and returned (default). If a Signal is passed, it is used to receive the output of the operation, and nothing is returned.
rechunkbool: Only has effect when operating on lazy signal. Default False, which means the chunking structure will be retained. If True, the data may be automatically rechunked before performing this operation.

Returns:

BaseSignal or subclass: A new Signal containing the calibrated coordinate values of the minimum along the specified axis.

var(axis=None, out=None, rechunk=False)#

Returns a signal with the variances of the signal along at least one axis.

Parameters:

axisint, str, DataAxis or tuple: Either a single or multiple axes in a tuple can be passed. In both cases, the axes can be passed directly, or specified using the index in axes_manager or the name of the axis. Any duplicates are removed. If "sig" or "nav", the signal or navigation axes will be used, respectively. If None, the operation is performed over all navigation axes (default).
outBaseSignal (or subclass) or None: If None, a new Signal is created with the result of the operation and returned (default). If a Signal is passed, it is used to receive the output of the operation, and nothing is returned.
rechunkbool: Only has effect when operating on lazy signal. Default False, which means the chunking structure will be retained. If True, the data may be automatically rechunked before performing this operation.

Returns:

sBaseSignal (or subclass): A new Signal containing the variance of the provided Signal over the specified axes
