Average subtomograms

Create an average

Average using average.py

After reconstructing the subtomogram it may be handy to average them, in particular if they are aligned to some extent. To this end you can use the following command:

pytom PathToPyTom/bin/average.py -p yourParticleListXML -a pathOfAverage.em

This will generate an average of yourParticleListXML called pathOfAverage.em. Here are the possible parameters:
