.TH PROCESS_HKL 1
.SH NAME
process_hkl \- Monte Carlo merging of Bragg intensities
.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP
.B process_hkl
\fB-i\fR \fImypatterns.stream\fR \fB-o\fR \fImydata.hkl\fR \fB-y\fR \fIpointgroup\fR [\fBoptions\fR] \fB...\fR
.PP
.B process_hkl
\fB--help\fR
.SH DESCRIPTION
process_hkl takes a data stream, such as that from \fBindexamajig\fR, and merges
the many individual intensities together to form a single list of reflection
intensities which are useful for crystallography. Merging is done by the Monte
Carlo method, otherwise known as taking the mean of the individual values.
.SH OPTIONS
.PD 0
.IP "\fB-i\fR \fIfilename\fR"
.IP \fB--input=\fR\fIfilename\fR
.PD
Give the name of the input stream. \fB--input=-\fR means to use stdin.
.PD 0
.IP "\fB-o\fR \fIfilename\fR"
.IP \fB--output=\fR\fIfilename\fR
.PD
Give the name of the output file. The default is \fB--output=processed.hkl\fR.
.PD 0
.IP "\fB-y\fR \fIpointgroup\fR"
.IP \fB--symmetry=\fR\fIpointgroup\fR
.PD
Merge according to symmetry \fIpointgroup\fR.
.PD 0
.IP "\fB-g\fR \fIh,k,l\fR"
.IP \fB--histogram=\fR\fIh,k,l\fR
.PD
Calculate a histogram of intensities for \fIh,k,l\fR, which will be written as
\fBhistogram.dat\fR in the current directory.
.PD 0
.IP "\fB-z\fR \fImin,max,nbins\fR"
.IP \fB--hist-parameters=\fR\fImin,max,nbins\fR
.PD
Set the minimum and maximum values, and the number of bins, to \fImin\fR, \fImax\fR and \fInbins\fR, respectively.
.PD 0
.IP \fB--start-after=\fR\fIn\fR
.PD
Ignore the first \fIn\fR patterns in the stream.
.PD 0
.IP \fB--stop-after=\fR\fIn\fR
.PD
Stop after processing \fIn\fR patterns.
.PD 0
.IP \fB--start-after=\fR\fIn\fR
.PD
Ignore the first \fIn\fR patterns in the stream, not including those skipped
with \fB--start-after\fR, if any.
.PD 0
.IP \fB--reference=\fR\fIfilename\fR
.PD
Use intensities from \fIfilename\fR as the reference when scaling, instead of
the current model.
.PD 0
.IP \fB--scale\fR
.PD
Attempt to scale each pattern for best fit with the current model.
Scaling using process_hkl doesn't work very well: use \fBpartialator\fR if you
need more advanced merging techniques.
.PD 0
.IP \fB--sum\fR
.PD
Sum the intensities, instead of averaging them. This might be useful for
comparing results to radially summed powder patterns, but usually gives less
useful final intensities.
.PD 0
.IP \fB--max-only\fR
.PD
Output the maximum intensity for each reflection rather than the mean value of
all intensities. This is usually not useful.
.PD 0
.IP \fB--no-polarisation\fR
.PD
Disable the polarisation correction.
.PD 0
.IP \fB--min-measurements=\fR\fIn\fR
.PD
Include a reflection in the output only if it appears at least least \fIn\fR times. The default is \fB--min-measurements=2\fR.
.SH CHOICE OF POINT GROUP FOR MERGING
One of the main features of serial crystallography is that the orientations of
individual crystals are random. That means that the orientation of each
crystal must be determined independently, with no information about its
relationship to the orientation of crystals in other patterns.
Some symmetry classes are merohedral, which means that they have lower symmetry than their lattices. This means that the orientation determined by indexing will have an ambiguity. In such cases, you will need to merge according to corresponding holohedral point group. To determine what this is, consult the tables in \fRtwin-calculator.pdf\fB. For further information, see the theory page of the CrystFEL website.
