write

write(
    self ,
    spool ,
    path ,
    data_path = None,
    **kwargs ,
)

Write a patch to RSF format.

if no data_path is NOT specified, the header and binary will be packed together data_path needs to be bindata_file.rsf or /location/of/bindata_file.rsf (NO ‘@’)

path needs to be hdr_file.rsf or /location/of/hdr_file.rsf

spool needs to have a single patch in it

time origin is forced to 0.0 in the new RSF file, but a dummy variable named ‘starttime’ still holds the real start time

Parameters

Parameter	Description
spool	The input spool to convert to rsf, must have exactly one patch.
path	Path to create the rsf file
data_path	If data and rsf header information are to be separate, the location of the data file. Needs to be bindata_file.rsf or /location/of/bindata_file.rsf (no ‘@’)

Note

Patch datatype is converted to float32 for compatibility with Madagascar (may be able to keep dytpe in the future)
