sp_header

Header Operations: Perform operations on headers of hdf or bdb file.


Usage

Usage in command line

sp_header.py  stack  --params=PARAMS_NAME_LIST  --import=INPUT_PARAMS_PATH  --export==OUTPUT_PARAMS_FILE  --delete  --zero  --one  --set  --consecutive  --randomize  --rand_alpha  --print  --backup  --restore  --suffix=PARAMS_FILE_SUFFIX


Typical usage

sp_header does not support MPI.


Print parameterrs:

sp_header.py bdb:file --print --params=xform.projection


Export ctf values to a text file:

sp_header.py bdb:file --export=ctf.txt --params=ctf


Import ctf values from a text file and set them to headers:

sp_header.py bdb:file --import=ctf.txt --params=ctf


Backup current alignment parameters:

sp_header.py bdb:file --backup --suffix=_original --params=xform.projection


Restore original alignment parameters:

sp_header.py bdb:file --restore --params=xform.projection_original

Note: command will recognize the valid name of a parameters and truncate the suffix, thus in this case the restored parameter will be xform_projection.


Delete parameters:

sp_header.py bdb:file --delete --params=xform.projection_original

Note: the parameters will be permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.


Input

Main Parameters

stack
Input image stack: Path to input image stack. The stack can be either bdb or hdf. However, the GUI supports only bdb. (default required string)
--params
Target parameters: List of parameters names (i.e. image header entry keys) to perform operations on (e.g. “parm1 parm2 …”). (default required string)
--import
Import parameters: Import parameters from file. (default none)
--export
Export parameters: Export parameters to file. (default none)
--delete
Delete all: Delete all parameters. (default False)


Advanced Parameters

--zero
Set to zero: Set all parameters to zero. (default False)
--one
Set to one: Set all parameters to one. This is not applicable to xform.align2d, xform.proj or xform.align3d, beccause they do not make sense. (default False)
--set
Set to constant: Set parameters to a specified constant value, other than 0.0. (default 0.0)
--consecutive
Set to consecutive: Set selected parameters to consecutive integers starting from 0. (default False)
--randomize
Set to random: Set all parameters to randomized value. This works only for xform.align2d, xform.proj and xform.align3d since there is little need to randomize the other parameters and it is also difficult to guess the random range beforehand. (default False)
--rand_alpha
Set angles to random: Set all angles to random values. (default False)
--print
Print to screen: Print parameters to screen. (default False)
--backup
Backup all: Backup all parameters. (default False)
--restore
Restore all: Restore all parameters. (default False)
--suffix
Suffix for backup: Suffix for xform name in backup. This will be added to the name of a parameter or removed during restore. (default _backup)


Output


Description

This program now works for both hdf and bdb files.


Important Parameters in Image Header

Header Key Discription
xform.align2d Use this header entry key to operate on 2D alignment parameters. This automatically includes the parameters “alpha”, “sx”, “sy”, “mirror” and “scale”.
xform.projection Use this header entry key to operate on projection alignment parameters. This automatically includes the parameters “phi”, “theta”, “psi”, “s2x” and “s2y”.
xform.align3d Use this header entry key to operate on 3D alignment parameters. This automatically includes the parameters “phi”, “theta”, “psi”, “s3x”, “s3y”, “s3z”, “mirror” and “scale”.
ctf Contrast Transfer Function is accessible as object “ctf” and involves six parameters: defocus [microns], cs [mm], voltage [kV], apix [A], bfactor [A^2], ampcont [%], astigmatism amplitude, astigmatism angle.

See description of parameters Reading and writing the image files in SPARX/EMAN2.


Usage in Python Programming
