💅 rgbcorrelator(1) — the PyMca X-Ray Fluorescence Toolkit manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so you found the man page for rgbcorrelator, and honestly? she's giving main character energy. this is the PyMca image correlation analysis application, and i'm about to explain her to you like we're texting at 1am. no cap. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

rgbcorrelator [FILE1] [FILE2] ...

like, just hand her some files. or don't! she's flexible. 💁‍♀️

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so first thing's first, and this is important: this is literally an alias to pymcapostbatch. that's it. that's the tea. ☕

when you run it, it starts up the graphical user interface of the PyMca X-Ray Fluorescence Toolkit rgbcorrelator tool. very demure, very mindful, very GUI.

here's the vibe: it lets you superpose up to three images in RED, GREEN and BLUE — yes bestie, the RGB of it all — so you can investigate correlations among them. it's giving art class meets spectroscopy. ✨

🚨 but listen: all the images have to be of the same dimension. she will not be playing mix-and-match with your sizes. periodt.

the program builds a table with all the input images, but only three of them can be superposed at the same time. so you can load a whole squad, but only three get to be on stage at once. 👑

and that's not all — this program also offers the possibility to perform mathematical operations among the images, plus simple multivariate analysis. she's multifaceted. she contains multitudes. 💖

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

just run it, bestie

rgbcorrelator

this starts the program with a file browser so you can select the input files yourself. very choose-your-own-adventure. 🎀

or feed her files directly

rgbcorrelator file1.tif file2.tif file3.tif file4.tif

this tries to open the files named file1.tif, file2.tif, file3.tif and file4.tif. look at her go. 🦋
