# 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)
