Add header to text files #158

Open grzanka opened 7 years ago

grzanka commented 7 years ago

All generated text files should include also header. It would be also nice to add option which on demand disables header generation. Header should start with # and include information about:

code which was used to generate file (SH12A or Fluka)
path to input binary file(s)
details about detector (no of particles etc)
date of generation
version of pymchelper

(and keep future .bdo format in mind. This provides calculation date, user, host etc.)

@grzanka "date of generation", I assume generation of the base input data for pymchelper, i.e. the date the MC calculation too place, right? (The date when the conversion took place is not so terribly interesting.)

grzanka commented 7 years ago

"date of generation" - date when MC calculation has started (it would be also nice to include how much time did I take to complete). Date of conversion is much less important, can be added later if there is a need.

Good. Run time can easily be included.
