the import wizard: a window that browses the files of a folder, shows what a file holds, lets the phases, the conventions and the reference frames be chosen and writes the Python of the import; MATLAB’s import_wizard

Syntax

ebsd = importWizard()

Browse the current folder.

ebsd = importWizard('/data/ebsd')

A folder, or a file to open on start.

w = importWizard(show=False, exec=False)

The window, without its event loop.

Description

The window blocks until it is closed and returns the map imported, unless a Qt event loop runs already, as under IPython’s %gui qt, where it returns the window. From a terminal, mtex-wizard [path] or python -m mtex.wizard [path] opens the same. It needs PySide6, the wizard extra (pip install mtex[wizard]), and on Linux the system libraries of Qt, which it names when they are missing. The keywords go to runWizard: show=False keeps the window hidden, exec=False returns it without running the event loop.

Input

path a folder to browse or a file to open, by default the current folder

Output

ebsd the map imported, None when nothing was; or the window
