Feature Request: Save a grains.out from the indexing step before fit-grains

[gustafsonsven]

Hi all,

This one is a feature request. Would it be possible to have an option to save an unfit grains.out from the indexing step before going into fitting? The CLI drops an accepted orientations file (I think? Maybe it now drops a grains.out) - perhaps it should also drop a grains.out.

Thoughts?

Thanks - Sven

I think if you run hexrd find-orientations in the CLI, it does drop an unfit grains.out file.

Maybe we should add a button to save the grains table in the "Indexing Results Dialog" or in the "Fit Grain Options" dialog? Or both?

I would suggest saving a grains.npz file as well. It's easier to load from hexrd and automatically gives the rotation matrices as an attribute. I would like to see people making use of this.

I agree - saving a unfit grains.out and grains.npz is ideal. I think a button in the "Indexing Results Dialog" would be ideal. I don't see a strong reason to not add it to the "Fit Grains Options" dialog besides clutter on that page.
