SaveAnsto save Algorithm

[Keith Brown]

Ansto is a file format the ISIS reflectometry gui can save to, but at present it's written in python.

Write a c++ algorithm for it.

[Keith Brown]

Refs #8958 Initial Files Created

Created the cpp, h and test.h for SaveANSTO and added them to the list.

The files contain a skeleton which allows the project to build but they'll not do anything

[Keith Brown]

Refs #8958 Save Algorithm Written

The algorithm outputs the same data as the python script wiht the exception of inf and nan where it prints them in a different form.

Owen has said that it should be ok and we'll get the scientists to check

[Keith Brown]

refs #8958 added a file check

The ofstream is now checked to see if it was able to open the file.

Refs #8958 Written unit test

SaveANSTO now has a basic unit test. Still needs a few more to push it a bit.

[Keith Brown]

Refs #8958 Extra test added

Not much else you can test on this algorithm, i've jsut added a fail test for a fake workspace

I also removed calls to initialize() as they weren't needed when using the AlgorithmManager

[Keith Brown]

Refs #8958 disable failing unit test

Linux and windows deal with nan values differently and it's causing a problem. I need to redefine the file fomat a tad so we know what to expect.

the failing tests have ben disabled so the buildservers can get back to normal

[Keith Brown]

Refs #8958 Sorted complier warnings

there were a couple of "comparison between signed and unsigned int" warnings.

I also changed a couple of autos to const references of thier actual types on martyn's suggestion.

Refs #8958 Renamed algorithm files

The algorithm is being renamed, files have been renamed

[Keith Brown]

Refs #8958 Renamed and refactored

The aglorithm has no been fully renamed from SaveANSTO to SaveANSTOAscii.

The test has also been heavily refactored to strip out some duplication, re-implement some parts in a way i've been advised to do and changed the testing to a better more strict way.

Windows now catches that nan that linux caught, as it was the way the stream opperator worked.

[Keith Brown]

Refs #8958 checks and outputs nan and inf consistently

Nan and inf values are checked for and output in a constant format. (hopefully across platforms)

Changeset: 94bd6e912744d9017496de9ecc65a96b463b1dde

[Keith Brown]

Refs #8958 Unit test now checks for special values

The unit test now looks for a NAN or INF in one of the tests. This means that the test will still pass if a platform outputs a different special value for divide by zero, as by all rights both NAN and INF are both valid results.

Refs #8958 Forgot an include

When i added the boost::math functions i forgot to add the inlcude. Windows didn't seem to care as it was apprently in a precompiled header.

Changeset: 9f1f7340b163e2f1fe898f4d9d17d3d4be53d5f4

[Keith Brown]

just realised there are a few errors

[Keith Brown]

Refs #8958 Renamed variables and improved vector allocation.

The vector is now initialised and alocated in one go, which should eb much more efficent.

Many variables have been renamed, before now they were using the same names as they did in Max's code

To tester

Save a workspace from within the ISIS reflectometry GUI using the ANSTO format (File->Save Workspaces)

Then save the same workspace with the new SaveANSTOAscii algorithm, the resulting files should be identical

[Peter Parker]

That last commit needs a checkbuild, Keith, as it's not in Develop.

[Keith Brown]

That'll be because of the forced updates to develop. Will do that in a bit

[Roman Tolchenov]

The WIKI section is too short. Is there a LoadANSTO algorithm?

[Keith Brown]

Nope, no paired load algorithm as this is literally an export format and what it saves will make zero sense in mantid.

But I'll admit the WIKI section could be more descriptive

[Keith Brown]

#8960 is now being blocked by this as these algorithms need to be subclassed from the same base functionality as they're VERY similiar

[Keith Brown]

Refs #8958 Added wiki information

Added some wiki information. Basically enough to show that this is a specific-use save algorithm as well as explicitly mentioning that the result is not meant to be loaded back into mantid
