Welcome to the RixsTool wiki!

The RixsTool allows the conversion from EDF images to spectra by implementing the evaluation routine of ID32 beamline of the ESRF.

How to contribute

You want to contribute? Great! Here's how you get started:

1. Download and install git here

2. Clone the repository (link)

3. Register my repository as a remote branch (here called 'upstream'):

   git remote add upstream git://github.com/tonnrueter/RixsTool.git

4. Do your changes, commit them (with a commit message !!1!) and send me a pull request.

If you find that i made changes on the upstream and want to merge them i recommend to use

git pull --rebase upstream master

as explained here.

For further reading on git and general help, i found these websites to be beneficial:

• Official docs: with nice tutorials
• gitready: I found some nice tips (c.f. pull --rebase)

To Do: Unfinished tasks

• Transfer meta data ("header") from the image input files (*.edf) to the output. There already is a routine in the mainWindow.py module that writes spec files (saveSpectra).
• Energy calibration: Switch the current "Energy Alignment Tool" to the more appropriate name "Energy Calibration Tool" and implement its functionality
• The "Slope Alignment Tool" is very slow at the moment and needs further improvement in terms of performance
