LaueTools information on BM32 beamline website:

1- Download LaueTools code
-
the very last version of the code running with python3 is now on github (you are also welcome to fork this project):
-
last (or older releases) with repository on pypi
https://pypi.org/project/LaueTools/
if pip is installed:
.. code-block:: python
pip install lauetools -
Former LaueTools package written for python 2.7 only (up to June 2019) is no longer maintained and can be found on sourceforge:
But it is highly recommended to use python 3 to take benefit from all capabilities
2a- Launch Graphical User Interfaces of LaueTools
- start Lauetools GUIs from command line :
Normally, in a command window (if environment variables are well set) 3 main GUIs can be launched:
> lauetools for the main GUI
> peaksearch for batch Laue pattern peak search processing
> indexrefine for batch Laue pattern indexing and unit cell (strain) refinement
> buildsummary to compile all results from indexrefine analysis
> plotmap to plot 2D map of structural quantities from file built previously
> plotmeshgui to plot 2D map from counters values in (spec) logfile
2b- Use LaueTools module as a library
With pip installation, LaueTools package will be included to python packages. Therefore any module will be callable as the following:
-In [1] : import LaueTools.readmccd as rmccd
-In [2] : rmccd.readCCDimage(‘myimage.tif’)
In jupyter-notebook, it is also simple in the same manner:
