[GSAS-II] Refactoring Image Reading

[Toby, Brian H.]

Dear GSAS-II Users,

  I want to mention to all of you that a change in GSAS-II that is in progress. As you probably have noticed, reading of input files into GSAS-II is handled through the Import menu items — except for reading of Images — which was put in the Data menu when the project was started. As of version #2003, image reading is now available in the Import menu. The reason for this change is that Import (and Export) menu items in GSAS-II are handled in a special way that makes it much easier to support new formats (see https://subversion.xray.aps.anl.gov/pyGSAS/sphinxdocs/build/html/imports.html). Please use Import/Image/... in preference to Data/"Read image data…” At present the old Image reading code is largely unchanged, but in a few weeks (unless I hear about problems), I will start on a code cleanup and will leave only the Import code.

   While Bob and I want to hear about all bugs that can be demonstrated in the current version of GSAS-II, I’d like to ask you to be on the lookout for problems reading image files. We try to track down and fix all the bugs we can reproduce. If you find a one, please be sure to send us a .GPX file and instructions; also please see https://subversion.xray.aps.anl.gov/trac/pyGSAS#Bugs for how to report bugs.

Brian
