.prj File

What is it for?

The .prj file contains information about project settings, locations of files, and other information. It is maintained by BEAM-ish and should not need to be edited by the user.

Who generates it?

How is it formatted?

The .prj file follows the same format as a typical windows .ini file. It has the following sections and parameters:

[General] - This section contains general information about project files and locations
projectpath - The path were the project files can be found
projectprefix - The prefix that is used to generate default files for a project
imagepath - The path were the images are stored
imageprefix - The image template where #### shows the part of the name that is variable
lastimage - The last image viewed when this project was open
crystalid - An integer that is used to identify the crystal the images were generated from
swapimagebytes - Used to determine if bytes were swapped or not. This is no longer used.

[Mosflm] - This section contains information used to start MOSFLM
ScriptFile - The script file created by BEAM-ish to actually start MOSFLM
ImageToOpenOnStart - The image MOSFLM will open when it is started
mtzFile - The mtz file to use when starting HALFSLICE
beam_center_x_mm - The beam center in mm in MOSFLM coordinates
beam_center_y_mm - The beam center in mm in MOSFLM coordinates
crystal_to_detector - Crystal to Detector distance in mm
lambda_A - Wavelength in angstroms
Twotheta - Value of two theta
StartingPhi_Deg - Starting phi for the image (MOSFLM uses Image Header for Value)
DeltaPhi_Deg - Oscillation distance of images (MOSFLM uses Image Header for Value)
Gain - Gain value the (default seems to work fine)
VDiv - Vertical Beam Divergence (default seems to work fine)
HDiv - Horizontal Beam Divergence (default seems to work fine)
DetectorType - Detector Type (currently only ADSC by BEAM-ish)

[Halfslice] - This section contains information used to start HALFSLICE
InpFile - This file contains information about files and locations to aid in integration
Profile - This file contains the profiles calculated by HALFSLICE
PredictionFile - This file contains updated x y assignment after integration
HalfinFile - This file contains the h k l x y assignments for reflections that will be integrated
SigmaCutOff - This is used to limit the reflections assigned for profiling
FullWidth - This is the number of images the profile will span
StartImage - This is the image number to start at
EndImage - This is the image number to end at
MidAngle - This is the angle in the header of the image in the middle of the sequence

[Peakstats] - This section contains information that is used by PEAKSTATS
CNTRFile - The control file for PEAKSTATS
OutputFile - The is the file where PEAKSTATS writes the profile data
FWHMFile - This is the file where PEAKSTATS writes information about the reflection location and other data
FitFile - This is the file where information is stored about reflections that have Gaussian fits.
sigma_x - Beam divergence in the x direction
sigma_y - Beam divergence in the y direction
sigma_z - Spectral Divergence
mm_pixel_x - pixel x resolution
mm_pixel_y - pixel y resolution
AvgFilter - Use averaging filter 1(yes) 0(no)
AvgFilterWd - Width of the averaging filter in images
AvgIgnoreSelf - During averaging calculation ignore self 1(yes) 0(no)
PrntProfiles - Generate .dat2 after run is complete
AppDezinger - Apply dezinger filter 1(yes) 0(no)

[Gaussians] - This section contains information related to Gaussian fitting
DefaultNumberGaussians - When setting up a new fit the number of Gaussians to supply by default
DefaultBGType - Type of default background measurement (2)Linear (1)Constant 0(none)
Metric# - Math mathematical representation of default parameter for Gaussians

[Filters] - This section contains information about the reflection filter parameters
Filter# - Filter information
AlwaysKeep - Comma separated list of Reflection Id's that should always be kept independent of filtering conditions
AlwaysDelete - Comma separated list of Reflection Id's that should always be filtered out independent of filtering conditions

[Colors] - This section contains information about the image color scheme
ColorSettings - Representation of the color scheme
