SavePlot1D

[Peter Peterson]

A new algorithm to standardize some of the figure generation in auto-reduction. This should be a new workflow algorithm called SavePlot1D which takes in a MatrixWorkspace or WorkspaceGroup of MatrixWorkspace and makes line plots. For a single workspace it should do something similar to

from matplotlib import *
use("agg")
from matplotlib.pyplot import *
s = mtd[wkspname]
for i in xrange(s.getNumberHistorgrams()):
  plot(s.readX(i)[1:], s.readY(i))
xlabel('Q($\\AA^{-1}$)')
ylabel('Intensity')
legend()
show()
savefig(os.path.join(outputDir, wkspname+'.png'),bbox_inches='tight')

which should not register with mantid if matplotlib is not installed.

When given a WorkspaceGroup a stack of subplots should be made, with each one giving a plot of a single workspace.

Currently doesn't put the angstrom symbol for things in d-spacing (like a powder diffraction pattern). Otherwise this is shaping up nicely.

Testing:

1. Single plot - create a workspace with several spectra. Preferably some units of momentum, momentum squared or tof, so you can see if the latex labels are working. If more than 1 and less or equal to 10, a legend should be present (sp-0, sp-1,...).
2. Create a workspace group (works fine with two workspaces, I did not check with more). The resulting plot should have subplots for each workspace in the workspace group.
3. Create a workspace with the Y axis with some units. For example, run DgsReduction on the CNCS file, then run SofQW, with Q axis binning "0,0.5,3". The legend will have |Q|=0, |Q|=0.5, ...

NOTE Must have matplotlib >1.2.0

The branch is feature/9353_SavePlot1D
