Description
-----------
The format of the saved ascii CSV file for a 1D worksspace consists of
three columns where the numbers of each row are seperated by the
Separator and each line by the LineSeparator.
The format of the saved CSV file for a 2D workspace is as follows::
A 0, 200, 400, 600, ..., 50000
0 10, 4, 234, 35, ..., 32
1 4, 234, 4, 9, ..., 12
A 0, 100, 200, 300, ..., 25000
2 34, 0, 0, 0, ..., 23
ERRORS
0 0.1, 3.4, 2.4, 3.5, ..., 2
1 3.1, 3.3, 2.5, 3.5, ..., 2
2 1.1, 3.3, 2.4, 5, ..., 2.4
where for the matrix above the ERRORS line the first column shows the
content of the numbers on the of the same line; i.e. 'A' is followed by
x-axis values (e.g. TOF values) and any number (e.g. '2') followed by
y-axis values (e.g. neutron counts). Multiple 'A' may be present to
allow for the a-axis to change. So in the example above the saved 2D
workspace consists of three histograms (y-axes) where the first two have
the same x-axis but the third histogram has a different x-axis.
The matrix following the ERRORS line lists the errors as recorded for
each histogram.
Usage
-----
.. testcode::
import os
# Create a file path in the user home directory
filePath = os.path.expanduser('~/SavedCSVFile.csv')
# Create a workspace
ws=CreateSampleWorkspace()
# Save it in Nexus format
SaveCSV(ws,filePath)
.. testcleanup::
os.remove(filePath)
