Import

The import logic can be used to import any datasets of interest into the Cow. Files of the formats .cio, .csv, .dat, .fraw, .hed, .img, .mrc, .pdb .raw and .star. are supported.

By selecting the full path to the file and more needed parameters, this logic will load the data and provide an IO that contains the chosen input images.

Possible file types to be imported are: .cio, .csv, .dat, .fraw, .hed, .img, .mrc, .pdb .raw and .star. The “autodetect” option can be used to automatically chose a defined file format.

Micrographs in the .raw/.fraw format can be imported into the Cow

 #tr x-shift appliedXShift decimal

Adding external data is the start to image processing in the Cow. Therefore, a central logic to handle all kinds of different input formats is needed that can import 2D and 3D structures, image stacks, pictures and anything else that is required. This is the job of the import logic.
