21 \fBgpiv_series\fP processes a series of numbered files. If no parameters are
22 defined at the command line, standard parameters will be used that are
23 defined in the script. Principally, any program or script may be
24 invoked by \fBgpiv_series\fP. "\fIProcess\fR" is a string which
25 represents the name of the program to be executed, including
26 eventually command line options and arguments. The file to be
27 processed, as constructed from \fB-b\fR c.s., will be appended to the
28 "\fIprocess\fR" string. If the program has to be feeded with \-f
29 "filename", write \-f at the end of the string.
31 When using the parallelised version, mpipython is invoked and the script
32 may be launched with mpirun. The script needs that all input files
33 are accessible on each node by copying all data or by (NFS) mounting
34 the File System containing the input data on each node.
36 This program does not use the parameter resources from libgpiv.
40 \fB-a\fR | \fB--arg_n\fR
41 If the process needs the current number in its argument list instead
42 of prepending/appending it to the \fIFILE\fR, the number will be
43 put before (\fB-f\fR) filename in the "\fR\fIprocess\fR" string.
46 \fB-b\fR | \fB-\-basename\fR \fIFILE\fR
47 The \fIFILE\fR has to be given without its extension. \fIFILE\fR represents
48 the file name without its number. It is supposed that the leading or ending
49 number in the filename is the counter that will be applied by
50 \fBgpiv_series\fR when processing.
53 \fB-e\fR | \fB-\-ext\fR \fIEXT\fR
54 add an extension \fIEXT\fR after the filename (without the leading ".") in
58 \fB-f\fR | \fB-\-first\fR \fIN\fR
59 Defines the counter \fIN\fR of the number at which the analyses
63 \fB-l\fR | \fB-\-last\fR \fIN\fR
64 The last number \fIN\fR that will be processed. Default: 0.
67 \fB-i\fR | \fB-\-incr\fR \fIN\fR
68 Increment number with \fIN\fR. Default: 1. This might be usefull,
69 for example, if subsequent numbered images are combined for
70 cross-correlation with the \fBgpiv_img2gpiv\fR tool.
73 \fB-x\fR | \fB-\-prefix\fR
74 Use prefix numbering to file basename.
77 \fB-h\fR | \fB-\-help\fR \fP
81 \fB-n\fR | \fB-\-none\fR \fP
82 Suppresses real execution, only prints the process to stdout.
85 \fB-p\fR | \fB-\-print\fR \fP
86 Prints the process to be performed on each file to stdout.
90 Padding a number with \fIN\fR zero's when combining with the filename.
103 The parallelised script has only been tested with the LAM version of mpipython.
