Try the script

Load(Filename='MAP05935_4to1_033.nxspe', OutputWorkspace='MAP05935', LoaderName='LoadNXSPE', LoaderVersion=1)
#  Got Matrix workspace
SofQW3(InputWorkspace='MAP05935', OutputWorkspace='MAP05935MD', QAxisBinning='0,0.02,3', EMode='Direct')
#Show the result as described at http://www.mantidproject.org/SliceViewer_Python_Interface
#plotSlice('MAP05935MD')

Right click on the resulting workspace (MAP05935MD) and invoke sliceviewer --- nice looking picture appears (fig1).

uncomment line 3 above or run script below from ipython console.

plotSlice('MAP05935MD')

the result looks different and ugly (fig2)

Can not add picture at the moment as tracker have no space left.

More info needed. The instructions look good, and the images seem to indicate that there is indeed a problem here, however. Upon running the load in the script, I get the following based on the nxpe file you provided:

Error in execution of algorithm LoadNXSPE:
Not NeXus or notNXSPE

This is strange as I do not have problem with loading these data (tried under win).

To be on a safe side, I have placed the same data on ftp server ftp://ftp.nd.rl.ac.uk/scratch/abuts/Ticket_9995/ and put there also the processed workspace MAP05935MD.nxs which can be loaded as nexus file and shows the same behaviour as nxspe loaded and converted using SofWQ3 workspace.

E.g. Load using firefox from the url above and run

Load(Filename='D:\users\abuts\Downloads\MAP05935MD.nxs', OutputWorkspace='MAP05935MD', LoaderName='LoadNexusProcessed', LoaderVersion=1)

plotSlice('MAP05935MD') # -- looks bad

right click on the workspace and plot manually -- good.

Reference pre-tickets that were stopping me from working on this.

Moved to the backlog at the code freeze of R3.3

Apparently there has been a shift away from the SliceViewer to MSlice. Therefore this issue can be closed
