Create slice object from sqw object >> s = to_slice (w) >> s = to_slice (w, 'signal','Q') % make signal equal to |Q| (other options available too) w 2D sqw object 'signal' [Optional] keyword to make the signal axis another coordinate than the intensity. Useful to see the variation of e.g. energy across a slice. Valid coordinates are: 'h', 'k', 'l' r.l.u. 'E' energy transfer 'Q' |Q| % Overloaded methods: sqw/to_slice sqw/to_slice
