Image dictionary (imgCIF) version 1.5.4

Category ARRAY_DATA

Name:
'array_data'

Description:

    Data items in the ARRAY_DATA category are the containers for
     the array data items described in the category ARRAY_STRUCTURE.

     It is recognized that the data in this category needs to be used in
     two distinct ways.  During a data collection the lack of ancillary
     data and timing constraints in processing data may dictate the
     need to make a 'miniCBF' nothing more than an essential minimum
     of information to record the results of the data collection.  In that
     case it is proper to use the ARRAY_DATA category as a
     container for just a single image and a compacted, beam-line
     dependent list of data collection parameter values.  In such
     a case, only the tags '_array_data.header_convention',
     '_array_data.header_contents' and '_array_data.data' need be
     populated.

     For full processing and archiving, most of the tags in this
     dictionary will need to be populated.

Examples:

Example 1 - This example shows two binary data blocks. The first one was compressed by the CBF_CANONICAL compression algorithm and is presented as hexadecimal data. The first character 'H' on the data lines means hexadecimal. It could have been 'O' for octal or 'D' for decimal. The second character on the line shows the number of bytes in each word (in this case '4'), which then requires eight hexadecimal digits per word. The third character gives the order of octets within a word, in this case '<' for the ordering 4321 (i.e. 'big-endian'). Alternatively, the character '>' could have been used for the ordering 1234 (i.e. 'little-endian'). The block has a 'message digest' to check the integrity of the data. The second block is similar, but uses CBF_PACKED compression and BASE64 encoding. Note that the size and the digest are different.

Example 2 - This example shows a single image in a miniCBF, provided by E. Eikenberry. The entire CBF consists of one data block containing one category and three tags. The CBFlib program convert_miniCBF and a suitable template file can be used to convert this miniCBF to a full imgCIF file.
