 XPLOT2D  

 A software tool for analysing scientific images.

 Version 1.0 Beta 1  (March 15 2004)
 Version 1.0 Beta 2  (June 11 2004)

 Functionality: 
    - 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
    - Calculations: radial integration, histograms, horizontal or
	vertical integration, etc.
    - Simulations: Overplot rings from external x-ray diffraction profiles,
	defined in with either "tewotheta" or "d-spacing" files,
	containing columns with :
	    twotheta [deg], intensity [,color index]  or
	    d-spacing [A], intensity [,color indexa] , respectively.
    - Makes a generic operation with one image. 
    - Define/edit image titles

 To be done:
   - Load more file formats
   - Non-interactive use
   - Zoom
   - Improve profiles
   - Undo levels
   - New calculations and simulations
   - Mask algebra
   - Printing
   - Documentation
