    passed to the constructor.

    .. versionchanged:: 0.7.0
        Removed deprecated methods :code:`create_mask_job`, :code:`create_pick_job`

    ----------

    executor : ~libertem.common.executor.JobExecutor or None

        with other uses of Dask.

    plot_class : libertem.viz.base.Live2DPlot

        Create a Context with a specific kind of executor.

        .. versionadded:: 0.9.0

        This simplifies creating a :class:`Context` for a number of common executor
        choices and allows specification of the resources used to create the executor.
        For more fine-grained control of resource allocation create the
        executor manually and pass it to the :class:`Context`.

        See :ref:`executors` for general information on executors.

        .. versionchanged:: 0.12.0

            Prior to version 0.12.0, this function accepted :code:`*args, **kwargs`
            and passed them to the initializer of :class:`Context`. Given that the
            Context accepts only the :code:`plot_class` keyword-argument this was
            hard-coded into this function for backwards-compatibility, enabling
            the addition of the :code:`cpus` and :code:`gpus` parameters.

        Parameters
        ----------

        executor_spec : ExecutorSpecType, optional, by default "dask"
            A string identifier for executor variants:

            "synchronous", "inline":
                Use a single-process, single-threaded
                :class:`~libertem.executor.inline.InlineJobExecutor`
            "threads":
                Use a multi-threaded :class:`~libertem.executor.concurrent.ConcurrentJobExecutor`
            "dask":
                Create a standard :class:`~libertem.executor.dask.DaskJobExecutor` without
                considering any pre-existing Dask schedulers available on the system, similar to
                the default behaviour of :code:`Context()` called with no arguments.
            "dask-integration":
                Use a JobExecutor that is compatible with the currently active Dask scheduler.
                See :func:`~libertem.executor.integration.get_dask_integration_executor` for
                more information.
            "dask-make-default":
                Create a local :code:`dask.distributed` cluster and client
                using :meth:`~libertem.executor.dask.DaskJobExecutor.make_local`.
                The Client will be set as the default Dask scheduler and will
                persist after the LiberTEM Context closes, which is suitable for downstream
                computation using :code:`dask.distributed`.
            "delayed":
                Create a :class:`~libertem.executor.delayed.DelayedJobExecutor` which performs
                computation using `dask.delayed <https://docs.dask.org/en/stable/delayed.html>`_.
                This functionality is highly experimental at this time, see
                :ref:`delayed_udfs` for more information.
            "pipelined":
                Create a :class:`~libertem.executor.pipelined.PipelinedExecutor`,
                which is suitable for multi-process streaming live processing
                using `LiberTEM-live <https://libertem.github.io/LiberTEM-live/>`_
        cpus : int | Iterable[int], optional
            The number of CPU workers to create, where possible. The meaning of
            CPU worker depends on the type of executor created - threaded executors
            will interpret :code:`cpus` to choose the number of threads, while process-based
            executors will interpret the value to choose the number of processes to spawn.
            The iterable form of of the argument is intended contain CPU-id values to
            enable cpu-pinning where the exector and the system support it, but most
            use cases will only require an integer argument. Executors where this
            parameter does not make sense will raise an error if provided.
            When unspecified the default executor behaviour is retained.
        gpus : int | Iterable[int], optional
            Similar to :code:`cpus`, specifies the number of GPU workers to create
            where the executor chosen supports it, else raise an error. The integer
            form of the argument specifies the total number of workers to create,
            assigned according to the implementation of each executor, while
            the iterable form allows assigment of multiple workers to specific GPUs
            by repeating the id of any given GPU in the argument.
            When unspecified the default executor behaviour is retained.
        plot_class : libertem.viz.base.Live2DPlot, optional
            Plot class for live plotting, passed to :class:`Context`.

        Raises
        ------
        libertem.common.exceptions.ExecutorSpecException :
            for invalid executor choice or unsupported worker specifications

        Returns
        -------
        Instance of :class:`Context` using a new instance of the specified executor.

            Specify the dtype of the masks so that mask dtype can be determined without
            calling the mask factory functions. This can be used to override the
            mask dtype in the result dtype determination. As an example, setting
            this to :code:`np.float32` means that returning masks of type float64 will not switch
            the calculation and result dtype to float64 or complex128.
        dtype : numpy.dtype, optional
            Specify the dtype to do the calculation in.
            Integer dtypes are possible if the numpy casting rules allow this
            for source and mask data.

            .. versionadded:: 0.8.0
        flip_y : bool
            Flip the Y coordinate. Some detectors, namely Quantum Detectors Merlin,
            may have pixel (0, 0) at the lower left corner. This has to be corrected
            to get the sign of the y shift as well as curl and divergence right.

            .. versionadded:: 0.6.0

        scan_rotation : float
            Scan rotation in degrees.
            The optics of an electron microscope can rotate the image. Furthermore, scan
            generators may allow scanning in arbitrary directions. This means that the x and y
            coordinates of the detector image are usually not parallel to the x and y scan
            coordinates. For interpretation of center of mass shifts, however, the shift vector
            in detector coordinates has to be put in relation to the position on the sample.
            The :code:`scan_rotation` parameter can be used to rotate the detector coordinates
            to match the scan coordinate system. A positive value rotates the displacement
            vector clock-wise. That means if the detector seems rotated to the right relative
            to the scan, this value should be negative to counteract this rotation.

        sync : bool

        Returns

        dict or Tuple[dict, ...]
            Return value of the UDF containing the result buffers of
            type :class:`libertem.common.buffers.BufferWrapper`. Note that a
            :class:`~libertem.common.buffers.BufferWrapper` can be used like
            a :class:`numpy.ndarray` in many cases because it implements
            :meth:`__array__`. You can access the underlying numpy array using the
            :attr:`~libertem.common.buffers.BufferWrapper.data` property.

            If a list of UDFs was passed in, the returned type is

        Run :code:`udf` on :code:`dataset`, restricted to the region of interest :code:`roi`.
        Yields partial results after each merge operation.

        .. versionadded:: 0.7.0

        Parameters
        ----------
        dataset
            The dataset to work on

        udf
            UDF instance you want to run, or a list of UDF instances

        roi : numpy.ndarray, sparse array or coordinate tuple(s), optional
            Region of interest as bool mask over the navigation axes of the dataset.
            See :ref:`udf roi`.

        progress : bool | ProgressReporter
            Show progress bar. Toggle with boolean flag or supply instance of
            :class:`libertem.common.progress.ProgressReporter` for custom
            handling of progress display.

        corrections
            Corrections to apply while running the UDF. If none are given,
            the corrections that are part of the :code:`DataSet` are used,
            if there are any. See also :ref:`corrections`.

        backends : None or iterable containing 'numpy', 'cupy' and/or 'cuda'
            Restrict the back-end to a subset of the capabilities of the UDF.
            This can be useful for testing hybrid UDFs.

        plots : None or True or List[List[Union[str, Tuple[str, Callable]]]] or List[LivePlot]
            - :code:`None`: don't plot anything (default)
            - :code:`True`: plot all 2D UDF result buffers
            - :code:`List[List[...]]`: plot the named UDF buffers. Pass a list of names or
              (name, callable) tuples for each UDF you want to plot. If the callable is specified,
              it is applied to the UDF buffer before plotting.
            - :code:`List[LivePlot]`: :class:`~libertem.viz.base.LivePlot` instance for each
              channel you want to plot

        sync : bool
            By default, `run_udf_iter` is a synchronous method. If `sync` is set to `False`,
            an async generator will be returned instead.

        Returns
        -------
        Generator[UDFResults]
            Generator of :class:`~libertem.udf.base.UDFResults` container objects.
            Their attribute :code:`buffers` is the list of result buffer dictionaries for the UDFs.
            Attribute :code:`damage` is a :class:`~libertem.common.buffers.BufferWrapper`
            of :code:`kind='nav'`, :code:`dtype=bool` indicating the positions
            in nav space that have been processed already.

        Examples
        --------
        Run the :class:`~libertem.udf.sum.SumUDF` on a data set:

        >>> from libertem.udf.sum import SumUDF
        >>> for result in ctx.run_udf_iter(dataset=dataset, udf=SumUDF()):
        ...     assert np.array(result.buffers[0]["intensity"]).shape == (32, 32)
        >>> np.array(result.buffers[0]["intensity"]).shape
        (32, 32)
        >>> # intensity is the name of the result buffer, defined in the SumUDF

        Parameters
        ----------

        dataset:
            The dataset to work on
        f:
            Function that accepts a frame as the only parameter. It should return a strongly
            reduced output compared to the size of a frame.
        roi : numpy.ndarray, sparse array or coordinate tuple(s), optional
            Region of interest as bool mask over the navigation axes of the dataset.
            See :ref:`udf roi`.
        progress : bool | ProgressReporter
            Show progress bar. Toggle with boolean flag or supply instance of
            :class:`libertem.common.progress.ProgressReporter` for custom
            handling of progress display.
        corrections
            Corrections to apply while running the function. If none are given,
            the corrections that are part of the :code:`DataSet` are used,
            if there are any. See also :ref:`corrections`.
        backends : None or iterable containing 'numpy', 'cupy' and/or 'cuda'
            Restrict the back-end to a subset of the capabilities of the UDF.
            This can be useful for testing hybrid UDFs.

        Returns
        -------

        BufferWrapper : libertem.common.buffers.BufferWrapper
            The result of the UDF. Access the underlying numpy array using the
            :attr:`~libertem.common.buffers.BufferWrapper.data` property.
            Shape and dtype is inferred automatically from :code:`f`.
