PyXScat

Description of the project

PyXScat is a module that allows a quick, straightforward visualization and reduction of 2D scattering patterns. The main tool of PyXScat is its Graphical User Interface. The philosophy of PyXScat matches the following point:
- Abstraction of FabIO, pyFAI and pygix. Visualization of 2D patterns, 1D integrations, transform to reciprocal (Q) maps.
- Minimum learning curve for non-experienced users.
- Live, tunable and quick subtraction of reference data.
- Bridge between data collection and deep data analysis.

git clone https://gitlab.esrf.fr/xmas-bm28/data_analysis/pyxscat.git

2) Install locally the package, including all its sub-packages

cd pyxscat
pip install -e .

Install through requirements.txt

1) Download the requirements.txt file from the GitLab

2) Go to your python destinated directory and install the required packages (where the requirements.txt is stored)
