Peak Searching

From the simulated/real data set and the median image, we can now search the diffraction peaks.

For that, use for example:

peaksearch.py -n ../Simulation/simu_50grains -f 0 -l 111 -d ../Simulation/simu_50grainsm20000.edf -t 20

with :

Simulation: the folder where are the .edf files;
simu_50grains: the common part of the name of the .edf files;
0: the number of the first .edf file;
111: the number of the last .edf file;
simu_50grainsm20000.edf: the median image
20: the value of the treshold you want to fix to filter the peaks (you can ask several filter when you add -t options).

The command create two files (.flt and .spt) for each filter in the current folder.

Be careful : do not remove the median image (-d …) if you already did it once (for example in the diamond spots removal for cleaning a real dataset)!! Otherwise, Peaksearch will not find the smaller peaks anymore.
