EXPGUI: work in progress
Lots of work is taking place on the development version of EXPGUI. These changes will appear in the standard release, sometime soon (August/September??)
New capabilities in EXPGUI
- Interface to distance-angle (DISAGL) parameters*
- Distance soft-contraints [restraints] module*
- Rigid body module (not documented, yet.)*
- Interface to fix atom coordinates*
New capabilities in LIVEPLOT
- Publication quality PDF export (all platforms)
- Pagnification regions: multiply intensity as a function of 2theta, Q,...
- Plot I/sigma(I)
- Edit title
- Improved placement of automatic tick marks (now the default) These changes are intended to make LIVEPLOT more useful for preparing diffraction figures for presentations and publication.
Diagnostics/Error? Recovery
- Blowup detector: EXPGUI warns when a corrupt .EXP file is encountered
- Revert menu: Eases returning to a previous refinement
In addition, significant revisions have been made to the documentation and there have been many smaller bug fixes. I hope more bugs have been fixed than introduced.
bug fixes:
- InstEdit bugs have been addressed and a new menu item makes creating a new file more clear.
- Fixed bug in setting the max 2theta value for CW data (caused by a TOF fix).
- On Windows 7 -- some systems -- EXPGUI fails to expand itself after a run of GENLES, etc. The "Iconify during GSAS" option has been removed on this platform, since that prevents the problem.
Note, items marked with a * are thanks to a large extent to the efforts of Charles Lake of Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Thanks to also Vince West who implemented a gnuplot export in CMPR that I ripped off for LIVEPLOT.
