XPLOT2D

Function

A software tool for the analysis of scientific images.

Some characteristics are:

• Load and visualize several images

• Several file types: EDF, MAR, BINARY, XRD, etc.

• Automatically handles gzip MAR compressed files

• Loads multiple files

• When an image is load, it can be added to the image stack or substitute the first image in the stack.

• Visualize images in frames.

• Apply several color tables and adjust their limits to data.

• button: "c f" color full range

• button: "c s" color stretched range

• Define ROIS (rectangle, circle, cake, polygon)

• Mask data to ROI or complement of ROI (1-ROI)

• Applies mask from another image

• Define/edit image titles

• Allows non interactive use

• One level undo

• Calculations:

• azimuthal integration

• histograms

• horizontal or vertical integration, etc.

• horizontal, vertical and transversal profiles

• Makes a generic operation with one image.

• Diffraction simulations:

• Overplot reference rings from external x-ray diffraction profiles, defined in with either "twotheta" or "d-spacing" files.

• Full calibration using circles (detector perpendicular to beam) or ellipses (detector oblique to the beam)
