Creates a signal1D from a text file
===================================

This example creates a signal from tabular data imported from a txt file using
:func:`numpy.loadtxt`. The signal axis and the EELS intensity values are
given by the first and second columns, respectively.

The tabular data are taken from https://eelsdb.eu/spectra/la2nio4-structure-of-k2nif4/

    import hyperspy.api as hs

Read tabular data from a text file:

.. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 17-19

.. code-block:: Python

    x, y = np.loadtxt("La2NiO4_eels.txt", unpack=True)








.. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 20-21

Define the axes of the signal and then create the signal:

.. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 21-29

.. code-block:: Python


    axes = [
        # use values from first column to define non-uniform signal axis
        dict(axis=x, name="Energy", units="eV"),
        ]

    s = hs.signals.Signal1D(y, axes=axes)








.. GENERATED FROM PYTHON SOURCE LINES 30-33

Convert the non-uniform axis to a uniform axis, because non-uniform axes do not
support all functionalities of HyperSpy.
In this case, the error introduced during conversion to uniform `scale` is negligeable.

.. code-block:: Python


    s.axes_manager.signal_axes[0].convert_to_uniform_axis()

Set title of the dataset and label for the data axis:

.. code-block:: Python

    s.metadata.set_item("General.title", "La2NiO4 EELS")
    s.metadata.set_item("Signal.quantity", "Intensity (counts)")

Plot the dataset:
